Proactive legal counsel for the injured and disabled in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Children’s SSI

If your child is medically disabled, we can help you pursue Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits for him or her. The criteria the Social Security Administration (SSA) applies has a number of requirements that include:

  • Being under 18 years of age (benefits are also available for disabled adult children whose disability began before they turned 22)
  • Suffering a physical or mental impairment that results in marked and severe functional limitations
  • That impairment has lasted or is expected to last at least 12 months or is expected to result in death

Benefits can begin at birth. There is no minimum age.

Why Do I Need An Attorney?

Many people may wonder why they need a lawyer to help with filing a claim for SSI benefits for their child. The process by which the SSA determines the validity of disability claims for children is much stricter than even the process that is used to evaluate SSI claims for adults. Having an experienced attorney there to help build your child’s claim can mean the difference between securing benefits and not. Even many experienced practitioners do not know how to approach children’s SSI claims. At Berk Law, our experienced team knows how to handle these claims as well.
