Scranton and Wilkes-Barre, and Towanda, Pennsylvania – SSI Disability Lawyers – SSI Eligibility

Supplemental Security Income payments are available to people who are disabled, blind, or over age 65 and who demonstrate considerable limited financial resources. In order to qualify for these monthly SSI payments, you must prove to the Social Security Administration that you meet all of these financial and medical requirements. At O'Malley & Langan, P.C., we are dedicated to providing effective representation to all of Pennsylvania, including Scranton, Wilkes-Barre, and Towanda. Our SSI disability lawyers can help build a strong case for you or your loved ones so that you can receive the financial assistance you need.

SSI Medical Requirements – Qualify for Disability

In order to receive assistance from the Social Security Administration, a person must be completely disabled due to a physical or mental impairment that prevents him or her from gainful employment for 12 months or more. If you have little or no income and suffer from a condition that is expected to result in death, or if you are blind or have an otherwise serious vision impairment, you may be eligible to receive SSI disability benefits. Our law firm represents clients from throughout Scranton, Wilkes-Barre, Towanda, and all of Pennsylvania by providing SSI disability lawyers skilled in getting results. Call or email O'Malley & Langan, P.C., to schedule a case evaluation.

SSI Financial Eligibility – Income Restrictions

Demonstrating financial need is the most important part of filing a Supplemental Security Income claim. The SSI payments a person is granted are determined by the amount of money he or she receives from wages, pensions, and Social Security benefits, as well as costs of food and shelter; thus, the amount of SSI income will vary.

The Social Security Administration does not count certain sources of income – such as student scholarships, the acceptance of items like wheelchairs that help a person work, and more – when determining SSI eligibility. However, if you are married or under age 18, the wages of your spouse or parents will be taken into consideration when determining the amount of assistance you receive. To learn more about state income limits and filing for SSI assistance, contact our Pennsylvania offices serving Scranton, Wilkes-Barre, Towanda, and beyond. Our SSI disability lawyers can help determine your eligibility for government aid and help you obtain the payments you need.
