If you wish to come to an office, we have 3 locations:

A staff attorney will directly represent children and their legal guardians with their initial applications, reconsideration appeals, administrative hearings, administrative reviews, and in certain cases, federal court appeals. The staff attorney will work with children, parents, and legal guardians to gather this information, and will complete all forms and communicate with SSA on behalf of the child.
The Legal Aid SSI Advocacy Program for Children will also conduct trainings on SSI for Children eligibility requirements. We welcome the opportunity to speak to community providers. If you would like us to speak to your group about what we do, or are interested in a training, please call 1-844-774-5463
