What You Need To Know About SSI Benefits Eligibility
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is another form of Social Security Disability benefits. We take our clients through the SSI benefits eligibility process.
At Culbertson Law Group, our attorneys specialize in Social Security law and assisting our clients obtain disability benefits. There are two types of disability benefits available for the disabled: Social Security Disability and Supplemental Security Income. Social Security Disability benefits are for people who are deemed disabled by the Social Security Administration (SSA) and have earned enough work credits to earn benefits. Supplemental Security Income benefits are for disabled persons who lack the resources and work credit to earn an income. SSI benefits eligibility is dependent on whether or not you are found disabled by the SSA. The SSA publishes a book of medical listings detailing the criteria for SSI benefits eligibility. If your disability meets one of the requirements, you may qualify for SSI benefits. If your disability does not, you must prove that your condition prevents you from working full-time and earning a substantial gainful income. This is where hiring an attorney comes in handy. Your appeal to the SSA must be convincing with the proper verbiage to ensure approval.
SSI benefits eligibility can apply to three different situations. You must be:
Blind.
A disabled person who lacks work credits to be eligible for Social Security Disability Insurance.
An aged individual over the age of 65 with an income and assets below the threshold set forth by the SSA.
