Like Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), Supplemental Security Income (SSI) provides benefits to people who are disabled from working. Unlike SSDI, however, you can receive SSI benefits without having ever paid employment taxes into the system.
VanNostrand & Morton, PLLC, is a West Virginia law firm dedicated to helping individuals with many different disability benefits matters, including how to apply for Supplemental Security Income. We are also experienced in disability benefits for children. We will guide you through the process and help you seek the best outcome possible.
The Basics of Supplemental Security Income
When determining whether or not to award SSI benefits, the Social Security Administration takes several factors into account. First, it will consider your age, income level and assets. If your household earns too much money, you may be disqualified from SSI.
If your household does meet the income restrictions, you must then prove that you meet the statutory definition of disabled. Our lawyers can help you understand exactly what the Administration will be looking for in your application. We can also show you how to answer each question correctly and effectively.
If you have already applied for SSDI or SSI and been denied, our highly experienced attorneys can review your case and help you file an appeal.
