Applying for SSI Disability Benefits

---

Applying for SSI Benefits can be a tricky process. Luckily, we have partnered with Marasco Nesselbush LLP Law Offices to share their SSI Benefits guide. The guide can be found below - but we have highlighted some of the guide here as well. 

What is SSI?

A federal benefit program called Supplemental Security Income, or SSI, is paid by general taxes. It benefits both kids and adults who are disabled.

Those with little to no income who struggle to maintain a regular job are eligible for the program. Similar to Social Security benefits, however eligibility is determined on disability rather than income.

To apply, you need the following: 

• Date and place of birth
• Marriage and divorce
• Names and dates of birth of children who are disabled prior to age 22 or are under 18 and unmarried or attending school ull time
• U.S. military service
• Employer details for the current year and two years prior, excluding self-employment
• Self-employment details for the current year and two years prior
• Direct deposit information
• Alternate contact
• List of medical conditions
• Information about doctors, healthcare professionals, hospitals, and clinics
• Related medical records from non-medical sources
• Job history
• Education and training

More info can be found on the site below. Again, thank you to Marasco Nesselbush LLP Law Offices for sharing this information with us.
