Texas Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Lawyers

SSI Attorneys Serving Dallas-Fort Worth

Though the two are often discussed together, Supplemental Security Income (also known as SSI) and Social Security Disability Insurance are two separate programs. While Social Security Disability Insurance is only available to people who have worked and earned enough work credits, Supplemental Security Income is available even to those who have never been able to work. Supplemental Security Income is a federal program designed to provide assistance to low-income individuals who are disabled, blind, or meet certain age requirements. It is notfunded by Social Security, but rather by general tax revenues, meaning you do notneed to have earned any certain number of work credits in order to qualify.

At Coats & Todd, we can help you pursue Supplemental Security Income and work to obtain the maximum amount of financial assistance you need. Benefits could be available to you, and our Dallas-Fort Worth Supplemental Security Income lawyers are ready to help you determine if you are eligible for those benefits.

Contact us today at 972-671-9922 to find out whether you may be eligible for SSI and to obtain assistance with the filing process.
