Spokane Valley Supplemental Security Income Attorney
Social security disability insurance is not available to everybody. If you are unable to make a living because of your disability, but you do not qualify for SSDI, an experienced lawyer can help you get the benefits you are looking for through supplemental security income, or SSI. At the Spokane Valley Law Office of Gary R. Penar, we handle SSI claims for the disabled in Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho.

Supplemental security income is designed for the elderly (people age 65 and older), blind, and disabled who have little or no income. SSI provides for basic needs, such as food, shelter, and clothing.
In order to be approved for supplemental security income, you must meet similar requirements as for social security disability claims — there must be a presumption of disability. However, you can still receive SSI benefits if you are able to demonstrate to the court that you are unable to make a livable income due to factors other than your specific disability, such as age.
There are many factors considered by the courts as they make their decisions regarding supplemental security income. It is our job to understand the extent of your disability and convey that information to the judge. With over 30 years of experience, attorney Gary R. Penar knows how to talk to judges, and he knows how to present your concerns in language the court will understand.
It is important to remember that SSI cases are fact-finding missions. This is not an aggressive practice area. You want to work with the court system, not against it, because the judge will be the one awarding you the benefits. We will help you through the entire process, whether you are just starting or your initial claim for benefits has been denied.
