Living with a disability and low income can be overwhelming. Lack of medical insurance can prevent you from obtaining regular medical care for your condition. It can also make it difficult to obtain the medical documentation you need to apply for benefits from Supplemental Security Income (SSI).
At the Law Office of Jerry Persky in Los Angeles, we can help. Our lawyers can help you at any stage of the process of applying for SSI, whether you are making an initial application or filing an appeal of a denied claim. We offer a free initial consultation to discuss your case and answer your questions.
What Is Supplemental Security Income?
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits are available to people with little or no income or property who are unable to work because of a physical disability or mental health issue. In addition to income benefits, SSI recipients receive health insurance in the form of MediCal.
The Social Security Administration uses its own rules to determine who is disabled and who is not. Just because you are ill or injured does not mean you are disabled. You have to prove that you cannot work on a regular and continuing basis due to your disability.
Even if you lack medical insurance, our lawyers can help you arrange for medical examinations for the purpose of determining if you are disabled.
If you have ever paid federal payroll taxes, you may be eligible for benefits through Social Security Disability instead of Supplemental Security Income.
