Supplemental Security Income
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is a Social Security program with income-based benefits for those who are unable to work, including those suffering from long-term disability. Many people who would qualify for SSI are unaware of the program’s existence, and many of those who apply are initially denied. The Social Security Administration is a difficult agency to navigate, so it is in the best interests of individuals seeking SSI benefits to have an experienced attorney on their side.

What Is SSI?
SSI is Supplemental Security Income. SSI benefits are paid monthly to disabled individuals, based on their income. People must have a very low income to qualify for the monthly SSI stipend. Unlike Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), recipients are not required to have a work history. SSDI is an insurance program that is paid into during an individual’s working years. In addition to disabled people with limited incomes, SSI benefits are also available for disabled children whose parents have a low income.
While the SSI program is not funded through Social Security withholdings, the program is run by the Social Security Administration, which is notorious for being difficult to deal with. Qualified individuals are often turned away and denied on their first application. With our help, we can make sure you successfully navigate the system and get the help you deserve.
