For Parents of Disabled Children

If you have a child younger than 18 with a disability, your child may qualify for Supplemental Security Income (SSI).  Your child must meet the following requirements to qualify for SSI:

• Must not be working earning more than $980 a month in 2009.
• Must have a physical or mental condition, or a combination of conditions, that result in “marked and severe functional limitations.”
• Condition must have lasted, or be expected to last, at least 12 months; or must be expected to result in death.

The Cochran Firm Disability Lawyers can review your information and determine if your child is eligible to receive SSI.
