What Are Empower Disability Clients Saying?
“Treated me like a human being and not just another paycheck. I’ll hire them again in an instant if I ever have any disability or workers’ compensation problems.”
THERESA MORRIS in Google ReviewsYou can have a better day-to-day life if you receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI) for longtime health problems that make working impossible.
SSI benefits provide monthly checks and qualify you for Medicaid health care. They help you pay for essentials—so you have more stability and less worry.
SSI is run by Social Security, which also provides Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits. The main difference between SSI and SSDI is that qualifying for SSI is based on your financial situation, while qualifying for SSDI is based on your recent work history.
SSI may be the right kind of disability benefit for you if you haven’t worked much in recent years.
SSI also has benefits for children with disabilities whose families need additional support providing for their growth and development.
The SSI application can be difficult. But the disability SSI lawyers at Empower Disability can help you apply for SSI—and make the process easier.

But what are “resources?”
This is what counts as resources:
An individual cannot have countable resources worth more than $2,000. A couple cannot exceed $3,000.
But don’t worry that property like your house will hurt your SSI eligibility.
Several types of resources DO NOT COUNT in calculating whether you qualify for SSI:
