Our firm has successfully handled a number of claims for children's SSI benefits. Like SSI for adults, children's SSI is a needs-based program, so certain asset and income limits for parents will apply. There are different disability rules for children and adults. For more information on this program, please check out Social Security's website on Benefits For Children With Disabilities.  Like regular Social Security benefits, documentation and treatment is a crucial component of establishing disability. For children with learning disabilities or emotional problems, school records and IEP reports are also very important, as are opinions from the child's teachers. Social Security may also have the child tested by one of their doctors if necessary. 

If you feel that your child may be eligible for SSI benefits, please contact our office and ask for a free consultation with one of our attorneys.
