Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is available to low-income individuals. In the words of the Social Security Administration, SSI's purpose is described as follows:
- It is designed to help aged, blind and disabled people who have little or no income
- It provides cash to meet basic needs for food, clothing or shelter
If you think you may qualify for Supplementary Security Income and are not sure how to obtain it on your own, or if you have applied and been denied, you are encouraged to contact a lawyer and request a free initial consultation. If you reside in North Carolina, you are welcome to call or e-mail The Law Offices of Paul M. Goodson, P.C., to learn whether we can help you.
Required documentation for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) applicants includes the following:
- A Social Security number
- Proof of age
- Proof of citizenship or alien status
- Proof of income
- Proof of resources
- Proof of living arrangement
- Medical information if you are filing as blind or disabled
- Work history
The Social Security Administration reports that, "The earliest we will pay SSI is the month after the filing date of your application, or the month after you first meet all the eligibility requirements, whichever is later." For this reason, expediency in applying can make a significant difference in the total amount of benefits received.
Let Us Guide You Through the SSI Process
If our attorney represents you in an SSI claim or appeal and you prevail, you will owe a percentage of retroactive benefits as attorneys fees. Thereafter, your SSI payments will be 100 percent your own. Some of our SSI (Supplemental Security Income) clients also qualify to receive Social Security Disability (SSD) if they have worked before and can no longer work due to a medical condition.
There is no risk involved in talking to a lawyer at The Law Offices of Paul M. Goodson, P.C. Initial consultations are free, and you will not owe attorney's fees until and unless benefits are paid out.
Pursue the Benefits That You Need and Deserve
We are prepared to advise you on the most likely routes to a successful benefit claim or appeal. Our goal is to help you recover the full financial compensation you deserve.
Call or e-mail the law firm to schedule a no-obligation consultation and preliminary case review with our experienced North Carolina SSI/SSD attorney in Charlotte or one of our branch offices.
