Questions About Social Security Insurance

What is Title XVI?

Title XVI is a government program that offers supplemental income to the aged, blind and disabled should they not be able to work. It is another name for Supplemental Security Income (SSI).

An experienced SSI attorney, like the Social Security disability lawyers at The Cochran Firm, can evaluate your case and explain to you whether or not you qualify for Supplemental Security Income benefits.

How are Title XVI benefits calculated?

As you probably already know, the language and formulas used in SSI are not easy to understand. It would be virtually impossible for you to calculate your benefits on your own. At The Cochran Firm, with offices all over the United States, we have represented thousands of people just like you who are entitled to benefits. If you have filled out the paperwork for Social Security Supplemental Income benefits and have been denied, we encourage you to call our office to schedule a confidential consultation today.

How is eligibility determined for Title XVI benefits?

To be eligible for Title XVI benefits, you must:

• Have little or no income
• Have limited resources
• Be considered medically disabled
• Be a U.S. citizen or a legal alien who is a resident of U.S.
• File an application

Is there a maximum amount of back payments the Social Security Administration will pay to an SSI recipient?

No, but SSA will limit amounts in increments that do not exceed 12 times the current Federal Benefit Rate (FBR).

Are benefits requirements different in each state?

No. The Federal Government mandates who qualifies for Supplemental Security Income benefits under Title XVI and who does not.
