5. WHY YOU NEED A LAWYER
Applying for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Disability benefits can be a
challenging process, often filled with complex legal requirements and bureaucratic
hurdles.
Additionally, SSI Disability lawyers can effectively communicate with the Social Security
Administration (SSA) on behalf of their clients, addressing any issues or concerns that
may arise during the application process.
Ultimately, having legal representation can make a significant difference in the
outcome of an SSI Disability claim, providing individuals with the support and
advocacy they need to obtain the benefits they deserve.

6. ELIGIBILITY
CRITERIA
SSI is a need-based program, so applicants must have limited
income and resources. The SSA considers various types of
income, including wages, Social Security benefits.
The individual must have a physical or mental impairment
that prevents them from engaging in substantial gainful
activity (SGA).
Applicants must also have limited resources, such as cash,
bank accounts, and property. The SSA sets limits on the value
of these resources that individuals can have while still
qualifying for SSI benefits.

7. THE APPLICATION
PROCESS
The process begins with
completing the initial
application for SSI Disability
benefits.
Once you've completed the
paperwork and gathered all
necessary documentation.
Along with the application, you'll
need to gather supporting
documentation, such as medical
records, doctor's statements.
After submitting your application,
you'll typically have to wait
several months for a decision
from the SSA.

8. APPEALING DENIED
CLAIMS
• When individuals apply for SSI Disability benefits, it's not
uncommon for their claims to be denied initially. However, this
doesn't mean the end of the road. Denied claims can be
appealed, giving applicants another opportunity to present
their case.
• By enlisting the help of an experienced SSI Disability lawyer,
you significantly increase your chances of success in appealing
a denied claim. They advocate on your behalf, fighting to
ensure you receive the benefits you're entitled to.
