Supplemental Security Income (SSI)

Florida SSI Benefits Lawyer

Regardless of your disability, you likely still have a mortgage or rent payment, household bills, and medical needs. Without the ability to work, these bills can be very burdensome. Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is available for certain individuals who are not eligible for Social Security Disability (SSD) due to their inability to work in past years. At the Law Offices of Don Anderson, I have more than 35 years of legal experience and center my practice on assisting clients with Social Security claims. For an experienced Social Security income attorney on your side, contact my Florida SSI benefits law office to schedule a free initial consultation. My main office is located in Largo, Florida, and I maintain a branch office in Tampa.

Eligibility for SSI Benefits

SSI is a need-based program that distributes monthly income and Medicaid benefits to eligible participants. To be eligible for SSI benefits, one must prove the existence of a disability which renders one unable to work as well as insufficient assets to pay one's healthcare and living expenses. Unfortunately, many individuals are ineligible for SSI benefits as a result of a spouse's income or assets.

As an experienced SSI benefits attorney, I assist clients with the following:

• Filing disability claim application for benefits
• Filing for hearing requests upon disability claim denial
• Filing SSI disability claim appeals

Experienced Supplemental Security Income Lawyer

Unfortunately, most initial claims for SSI benefits are denied. As an experienced Social Security lawyer, I understand the difficulties clients face when filing and application for SSI benefits. I work with clients to obtain the necessary proof from doctors and other professionals to ensure that their claim is resolved smoothly and efficiently.

Contact an SSI Attorney

Whether you are filing an initial claim for benefits, a request for a hearing, or an appeal, it is important to consult with an experienced Social Security attorney. Statistics have shown that individuals represented by an experienced Social Security lawyer are more likely to be successful in obtaining benefits than those who attempt to resolve the claim without counsel.
