Racine County SSI Claims Attorneys

Although similar in many ways, Supplemental Security Income (SSI) differs from Social Security disability in that it is need based. SSI is provided to disabled individuals who meet certain income and asset requirements. One of the primary differences is that a person need not have worked in order to qualify for this benefit. In addition, people who qualify for SSI also qualify for Medicaid, a government program that is similar to Medicare.

Our First Concern is Your Recovery

At Becker, French & DeMatthew, we help individuals in Racine and Kenosha counties to apply for, and obtain, supplemental security income benefits. Our firm offers more than 60 years of combined legal experience helping people who were in the same situation that you find yourself in now. We understand the administrative requirements and processes and we know what it takes to achieve success.

Beyond their primary differences, the SSI and SSD processes are much the same. Likewise, the burden of proof placed on you is no different either—you must have medical documentation that you have been unable to work for at least 12 months or that you will be unable to work for a minimum of 12 months because of your impairment.

Our attorneys can guide you through this process efficiently, gather the necessary documentation, and help you to avoid making any mistakes along the way.
