Supplemental Security Income

Birmingham SSI Disability Benefits Lawyers

Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits are available for disabled people who have not worked a cumulative 5 of the last 10 years and who have limited income and resources. Since eligibility to receive Social Security Disability (SSD) requires applicants to show they have worked at least 5 of the last 10 years, those stricken with serious disabilities may not be eligible to receive SSD benefits if they were unable to work or were unable to work long enough. SSI benefits are therefore of the utmost importance to many disabled people.

Whether you're applying for SSI for the first time or would like to enter an appeal following a denied claim, contact Alabama SSI disability benefits attorneys at Clark, James, Hanlin, and Hunt. Located in Birmingham, we provide free consultations, representing clients in Bibb, Walker, St. Clair, Shelby and Jefferson Counties and throughout central and northern Alabama.

Thorough Claim Applications and Appeals for Supplemental Security Income Benefits

At the law firm of Clark, James, Hanlin, and Hunt, we collect client documents regarding work history, medical condition and income information in preparation of our clients' cases. If your initial SSI disability claim is denied, we work with medical specialists and doctors in order to document your condition at an Administrative Law Judge's hearing.

Qualifying for Supplemental Security Income and Medicaid

If you qualify for SSI, you will also be eligible to receive Medicaid. This is especially important since Medicaid can be used to cover your medical expenses, as well as prescription drug bills, enabling you to use your monthly SSI disability benefits for housing, clothes and everyday needs. For these reasons, providing complete, extensive medical documentation of your disability and work history is essential.

What if I am Denied?

As your SSI disability benefits lawyers, we build your case on the basis of the medical evidence of your condition. If your claim or appeal has already been denied, we will work with medical specialists and doctors to determine why and gather the necessary evidence from additional testing or medical evaluation.
