Frequently Asked Questions

Supplemental Security Income is income from the Social Security Administration given to individuals with disabilities preventing them from working. You must apply for SSI and have a doctor documenting your disability. Most people have to apply multiple times to get SSI. You may want to seek the help of a lawyer with your application to make it more likely for you to get SSI. Lakeshore Legal Aid (313) 242-0811 may be able to provide you with legal help for your application.
