Supplemental Security Income (SSI)

What Is Supplemental Security Income?

The Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program provides cash payments and medical assistance to people who can't work because of age or a disabling physical or mental impairment. This money and benefits are also available to help the parents and families of disabled children.

SSI is a need-based, national program with only two essential requirements:

• You must meet the Social Security Administration's (SSA) definition of what it means to be disabled.
• You must have little to no income or assets.

Beyond that, the application, appeals process and evaluation criteria are essentially the same for both the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and SSI programs.

Applying for Supplemental Security Income benefits isn't any easier or less confusing than applying for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits. In either case, the vast majority of the nearly one million disability claims that are initially denied each year are from people who chose to apply or appeal their claims without the help of an lawyer. Make the wise choice and contact us instead.

We Help Make a Difficult and Confusing Process Easier

The dedicated team of professionals at My Social Security Disability Benefits know what evidence the government needs to see and how that evidence has to be presented before the SSA will issue a favorable decision on a claim for SSI benefits. We have handled thousands of cases involving all types of legal matters — and have a success rate of over 98 percent of the time on behalf of our clients.
