Supplemental Security Income (SSI) for children

LASSD can provide legal representation with every aspect of the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) process for children who have a qualifying medical condition and meet financial eligibility requirements.

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.
