Supplemental Security Income

Supplemental Security Income

¿Tiene una discapacidad temporal? Puede calificar para SSI.

Supplemental Security Income is commonly referred to as “SSI.” Unlike Social Security Disability (SSD), which provides financial assistance to permanently disabled workers, SSI provides financial assistance to people who have little or no income, regardless of their work histories.

SSI helps meet basic needs for food, clothing, and shelter to those who are disabled, blind, or aged. To find out if you qualify for SSI benefits, contact John Bales Attorneys at (800) 225-5564 or fill out a free initial consultation form.
