Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits are available to people with disabilities who have limited financial resources, regardless if you have a work history. The medical definition of "disability" is the same for both Social Security Disability and Supplemental Security Income benefits. Sometimes, people are eligible to receive both SSD and SSI benefits. Speak with an attorney about your options. At Macdonald, Chase & Dufour, we can help you determine if you are receiving all of the benefits you are legally entitled to, and we can work to obtain additional benefits if you aren't.

Supplemental Security Disability Income: Not Just for Adults

If your child was born with an injury or medical condition that hampers your finances or will permanently affect your child's ability to work, we can help you file an SSI claim on your child's behalf. SSI benefits are based on a household's combined income and assets. SSI is available for children with disabilities. Eligibility for childhood SSI benefits is based on a household's total income less assets. Childhood disability standards are different for a child than an adult and require consideration of many factors.
