What is Supplemental Security Income?
SSI is a federal program that provides monthly payments to qualifying people with limited income and resources who are disabled, blind, or age 65 or older.
Do I need a work history to qualify for SSI?
SSI does not require the same work-credit history as SSDI. Instead, financial eligibility based on income and resources is a central part of the SSI program.
Can I appeal if my SSI claim is denied?
Yes. Social Security provides procedures for challenging unfavorable SSI determinations. Applicable deadlines should be followed carefully.
Can mental health conditions qualify for SSI?
Potentially. A qualifying mental health condition may support a disability-based SSI claim when it satisfies Social Security's disability requirements and is supported by appropriate medical evidence.
When should I hire an SSI lawyer?
Consider legal assistance when a claim is denied, eligibility is disputed, income or resource issues arise, medical evidence is complicated, or you are preparing for a Social Security disability hearing.
