Supplemental Security Income (SSI)

    If you are unable to work for a significant period of time due to a physical or mental impairment, you may be eligible for Social Security Disability benefits in Illinois. There are two different types of benefits you can receive; Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income.

    To be eligible for SSDI or SSI benefits, you must be able to prove that you are medically impaired and unable to perform any substantial gainful activity for a period that has lasted, or is expected to last at least 12 months.

    The application process can be very confusing, so it’s best to consult with an experienced disability benefits attorney near Chicago. Let the Law Offices of Jeffrey A. Rabin & Associates help you navigate this process.

    Applying for Supplemental Security Income Benefits

    Establishing your eligibility for SSI benefits is reviewed on two levels. The first level is based upon your impairment. You may qualify for benefits if you match any of the following requirements:

    • You are 65 years of age or older
    • You are legally blind
    • You are unable to work because of a severe physical or mental disability
    • You have a child with a disability that prevents them from leading a normal life

    The next step is your financial eligibility. Both your income and assets are used to determine if you qualify for benefits. These include:

    • Monthly income from any work you complete
    • The value of your home and vehicles
    • Any government assistance you receive
    • Income tax refunds
    • Assistance from charities
    • Grants and scholarships for education expenses

    Applying for Social Security Disability benefits is a challenging process. Don’t go at it alone, let the knowledgeable attorneys at Jeffrey A. Rabin & Associates fight alongside you. Whether it’s helping with the initial application or fighting an appeal, we can help you get the benefits you deserve.

    Can You Get Both SSI and SSDI Back Pay?

    Yes, many individuals are eligible to receive benefits under both the Social Security Disability Insurance and Supplemental Security Income programs at the same time.

    In fact, if you are eligible for SSI, you are more than likely eligible to receive Medicaid and food assistance, as well. Medicaid is insurance coverage that helps you pay for doctor bills, prescriptions, hospital visits, and other health incurred costs.

    My experience with Jeffrey A Rabin has been very good.

    My approval of Social Security disability benefits came much quicker than I had expected. I first met with an associate on April 16, 2020 and we filed my application on May 21, 2020. My application was approved on August 3, 2020, only around a four month process. Even though we were at the beginning of this coronavirus outbreak when we started, it was easy to contact them and complete this process.

    This was an outstanding experience for me from my first appointment to the last.

    This Law Firm was very professional kind and considerate of me and my disability. They knew exactly what it was like for me in the real world and absolutely essential to help me explain that and my disability to the Social Security Administration. I definitely could not have done this without them and they have changed my life for the better forever. In my eyes they are the best social security disability law firm in Chicago and the suburbs.

    I filed for my disability and got denied twice. So I decided that I needed help of a lawyer.

    I began to search and in the process of me searching I always look @ the reviews if I see more bad than good reviews I move on to the next, but not with these guys I didn’t they helped me thru the whole process and assured me if there was a problem or concern I had to reach out and they would help me anyway they could, I dealt with with a few ppl there in the office I must say from the receptionist down to the paralegals they are awesome...

    I wanted to say thank you for everything that you did for me, I greatly appreciate it.

    You believed in me when a lot and social security did not. I was a risk for you to pay for my medical records, not knowing if you would win, if I had not won you would have been out of a lot of money and time. I have known other attorney’s, and have worked with them in the past, but they are nothing like you! You are a very kind generous human being with compassion. I pray that God will bless you practice and make you very successful ...
