Families with adult children born with developmental disabilities resulting in low IQ or other serious functional impairments can turn to the federal Social Security Administration (SSA) for help. Supplemental security income (SSI) is a special program administered by the SSA to provide a level of income security for people who are unable to earn a living because of development disabilities or brain injury.
If you are a resident of Pennsylvania, West Virginia or Ohio and have an adult child who you think may qualify for SSI payments, talk to a member of the Social Security claims team at Berger and Green, in Pittsburgh. Our lawyers and professional staff are a team of SSI and disability claims professionals, with thousands of successful claims on our record.
