Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Benefits For Children

At Harlan Still & Koch, we are dedicated to helping parents through the complex process of obtaining SSI for children in need. Our experienced team ensures that your journey through the legal system is less intimidating, with a focus on getting effective solutions.

How To Know If Your Child Qualifies For SSI Benefits

SSI benefits are designed for children under 18 who suffer from physical or mental disabilities that severely limit their daily activities. The condition must be expected to last at least 12 months or result in death. To qualify, the child must have little or no financial resources or income, and the family’s income and resources must also meet the requirements set by the Social Security Administration (SSA).

Conditions That May Qualify

There is a broad range of medical conditions that may qualify a child for SSI benefits. These include, but are not limited to:

• Chronic illnesses such as congenital disorders, cystic fibrosis, neurological disorders or cancer
• Severe developmental disorders, including autism spectrum disorders
• Mental disorders such as severe anxiety or depression
• Physical disabilities that impair mobility
