Los Angeles Disability Income

Unemployed, disabled persons no longer capable of substantial and gainful work because of their disability may be entitled to disability income in Los Angeles.  If disabled, you may qualify for the Social Security Administration Supplemental Security Income program (SSI). 

The Los Angeles Law Offices of Lawrence D. Rohlfing provides legal advice and services to clients seeking disability income in Los Angeles through the SSI and Social Security Disability (SSD) programs.  We are seasoned Social Security attorneys who can protect your rights.

Disability income in Los Angeles is based on need
The SSI program provides payment of benefits to disabled adults and/or children (and their dependents) with limited income and means.  Cash benefits are paid to meet basic needs such as:

- Food
- Clothing
- Shelter

Los Angeles disability income benefits from the SSI program are not based on your prior work history or your family.  Benefits are based on need rather than payroll contributions or the number of quarters worked by the recipient(s).

Unlike other Social Security programs, SSI benefits are paid to eligible claimants only and not family members or survivors.  Children receiving SSI disability income in Los Angeles must have a medically determined physical or mental impairment that severely limits their ability to function in daily life.

Benefit amounts vary, depending upon the recipient’s income and whether he or she is:
 
- Living alone
- Living with others
- Living in another’s household
- Living in public residential housing
 
And, SSI recipients may be eligible for food stamps—in some cases, an SSI application serves as a food assistance application as well.

Disability income in Los Angeles may be an option
For people who meet the criteria, SSI is an option for an improved quality of life.  There is no time limit for SSI benefits and disability income can provide stability to disabled individuals unable to work enough to provide for themselves and families.  The SSI program calculates the income and resources of applicants to determine the amount recipients receive.  Income and resources must fall within certain levels to qualify, among other qualifying factors.
