Apply for SSI

To apply for SSI benefits online potential applicants should visit the www.ssa.gov website and search for “SSI benefits” or visit this page. SSI benefits, or Supplemental Security Income benefits, are financial benefits awarded by the U.S. government’s social security system. SSI benefits are awarded to those who cannot work full or part-time due to a disability. It’s good to remember SSI benefits are contingent on the income level of the applicant and not on past contributions to the social security system.

The Process of Applying for SSI Benefits

The process of applying for SSI benefits can be confusing and is notorious for being difficult. Most applications are rejected the first time they are submitted so it is important that applicants prepare themselves to be patient and tenacious. In other words, they shouldn’t give up!

How to Make the Process of Applying for SSI Benefits Easier

The application process for SSI benefits has become a full-time job in itself! Because of the difficulty involved in the process, applicants can speed things up by consulting with someone who understands the “ins and outs” of social security disability benefits. It is highly recommended to enlist the aid of a social security disability attorney. A good attorney will charge nothing when providing a consultation and won’t collect payment until benefits have been rewarded.
