Supplemental Security Income
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is a federal benefits program for individuals who are disabled, blind, or age 65 or older and have limited income and financial resources. SSI is administered by the Social Security Administration and is based on financial need, not work history.
Qualifying for SSI requires meeting strict medical and financial criteria. Income, assets, household support, and living arrangements are closely reviewed as part of the application process. Missing or incorrect information can result in delays or denials.
TJY Law represents individuals seeking SSI benefits and assists with applications and appeals to ensure requirements are properly addressed.

SSI is a needs-based federal program that provides financial assistance to individuals who are disabled, blind, or age 65 or older with limited income and resources.
SSI is based on financial need, while Social Security Disability is based on work history and paid Social Security taxes.
Individuals who are disabled, blind, or age 65 or older and meet income and asset limits set by the SSA may qualify.
Yes. Children with qualifying disabilities may be eligible for SSI if household income and resources meet SSA guidelines.
The SSA reviews wages, benefits, savings, property, and other financial support when determining eligibility.
You have the right to appeal. Appeals must be filed within strict time limits and require proper documentation.
While not required, legal representation can help ensure applications and appeals follow SSA rules and deadlines correctly.
