Massachusetts Attorneys Helping People Obtain SSI Benefits
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is a government program that provides money to people who are disabled, blind, or over the age of 65. In order to qualify for SSI benefits, applicants must also show that they have limited income and resources. Under the law, a person qualifying for SSI cannot own more than $2,000.00, or $3,000.00 if they are married. Certain assets, such as a home and one motor vehicle, are exempt from these requirements. Unlike Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), SSI benefits are not based on a person's employment history.
As with any type of government program, the application process can be confusing and unnecessarily complicated. The applications process for SSI benefits is no exception. If you are considering applying for SSI benefits, the Boston law firm of Dane Shulman Associates, LLC can help you. Our lawyers will guide you through the legal process in order to help you receive the benefits you are entitled to under the law.
