It’s scary to live with health problems that push you out of making a living the way fully able-bodied people do.
How do you keep a home? Pay for your meals? Cover your other bills, like electricity?
It’s harsh. You don’t know what’s going to happen from this week to next, this month to next.
When you can’t work because of medical conditions—and maybe haven’t worked in a long time or ever—you can get financial assistance to help you keep going.
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is a disability benefits program run by Social Security that provides monthly checks to help with your basic expenses.
Getting approved for SSI benefits, though, can be like solving a frustrating puzzle.

Disability Law Is All We Do.
CALL US NOW! »To get SSI disability benefits, you must have a qualifying disability. And you must have limited financial means.
This is what you have to show Social Security about your health:
You have to prove this, which you do by sending in medical records and evidence from your doctor, clinic and hospital visits. An SSI disability benefits lawyer can help you put it all together.
And this is what you have to show Social Security about your finances:
Again, your disability attorney can help you tie down the details.
Some other factors help you get approved for SSI, including having blindness or being over 65—the age when many people get Social Security retirement benefits—but not having the work history and earnings record for retirement benefits.
Children with disabilities can also get SSI benefits to help with their care, if their families meet the income and assets limits.
You probably have a lot of questions. You can get answers from our SSI lawyers FOR FREE by calling us for a case evaluation.
Get My Free Consultation! »Supplemental Security Income is different from the other disability benefits program by Social Security—Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI)—because it has no work requirements to get benefits.
SSDI is designed for people who worked and paid significant taxes into the Social Security system. So for people who get SSDI, benefit amounts are calculated using their past earnings.
SSI is meant for people with disabilities who are in economic need and don’t have lengthy or recent work records. Social Security sets the same monthly rate of benefits for everyone in the United States:
The payments typically increase a little each year.
The State of Oklahoma also provides a supplement on top of the amount set by the federal government. The size of the additional payment in Oklahoma depends on each person’s income and financial circumstances.
