It’s important to remember that children may also be eligible for SSI Disability benefits. Let’s set up a time to discuss your child’s medical condition and evaluate their eligibility.
It took more than a decade, but by 1967, SSA disability rehabilitation efforts had become six times more effective. Between 1956 and 1966, the program was working to become fully defined and functional, and more consistent in efficiently processing claims and making payments.
If you are having criminal legal problems, that can affect your eligibility for disability benefits from Social Security. If you are convicted of a crime, you cannot get benefits while you are in jail or confined for that crime.
Important factors that will determine if you are eligible for Disability benefits include: your age, education, past work history, your physical or mental issues, and your medical treatment. Gathering all of the evidence and having doctor’s reports will help you build your case.
If you have a medical condition that makes it so that you cannot work and you want to apply for disability, expect to be asked the following questions: Are you working presently? Is your medical condition severe? Is your condition in the disability listing? Also, can you still do the work you did before? Can you do any other type of work?
Supplemental Social Security Income (SSI) benefits are not large and the requirements are strict. One of the benefits of getting even $1 from SSI is that, in most states, you become eligible for medical care through Medicaid.
