ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS FOR SSI

A Greensboro Social Security disability case lawyer can explain that there are several eligibility requirements that you must meet before you can start receiving Social Security Income benefits. This federal program is a different program than Social Security, which provides retirement income for adults who work. Some individuals are able to receive SSI and Social Security income at the same time.

ELDERLY, BLIND AND DISABLED

A Greensboro Social Security disability case lawyer can explain that the Social Security Administration sets guidelines that allow elderly, blind or disabled individuals to receive benefits. Individuals who are 65 or older are considered elderly. To be considered blind, an individual must have 20/200 vision with glasses in the individual’s better eye or his or her field of vision must be less than 20 degrees. Individuals who have a physical or mental impairment that does not allow them to engage in meaningful work activity and that is expected to last for at least 12 months or be terminal also qualify for benefits.

ECONOMIC CONSIDERATIONS

An attorney from a Greensboro Social Security disability claims law firm can explain that a person must meet certain income guidelines in order to qualify for benefits. Additionally, the amount of benefits that a person receives is directly related to the amount of income that he or she earns. Additionally, a person’s resources are taken into consideration. The more resources that an individual has, the lower amount of benefits that he or she will be eligible to receive.
