Midland Professional Associates is a not-for-profit law firm dedicated to representing individuals with disability claims before the Social Security Administration. Statistics have shown that people represented by attorneys have been successful more often than people without attorney representation. Not all attorneys practice before the Social Security Administration. You will do best to find an attorney familiar with the maze of Social Security regulations and the unusual procedures. The burden is on the claimant to prove that a disability exists and not on the Social Security Administration to prove a disability does not exist.

What is SSDI?
Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) provides benefits for disabled workers and their dependents. Eligibility and the amount of benefit depend on a person's earnings history. Age, education, and previous job experience will be considered in determining whether or not a person is able to work. The disability must be expected to last at least twelve consecutive months or to result in death.

What is SSI?
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) provides benefits for people with little or no income and limited assets who are disabled, blind, or over the age of 65. SSI benefits are also available for children unable to function independently and effectively in an "age appropriate" manner.
