We understand people sometimes find themselves in difficult
situations – financially, physically, emotionally or otherwise. It’s our
privilege to advocate for them. People who are disabled and have limited
resources but not enough of a work history to qualify for Social Security
Disability Insurance (SSDI) may qualify for Supplemental Security Income (SSI).
The Social Security Administration site is a great resource for SSI
information, like this SSI overview page and this page on resources the administration considers when
applying for SSI.
Separate from the assets portion of a case is a client’s access to
medical care. “It’s always a large concern,” associate attorney Matthew Shupe
said of Balin’s clients. “That involves a lot of education from our staff and
attorneys regarding what our clients’ options are for subsidized or free
physical and mental healthcare in their area, be that through Medicaid or a
financial means-based charity program through various hospital systems in the
area.”
With the expansion of Medicaid in Ohio only occurring in January
2013, many of Balin’s clients have turned to the MetroHealth System for health
care. “This is the only treatment option for a lot of people,” November said. MetroHealth’s
financial assistance program helps patients pay for health care costs, while their shuttle service allows
patients to be transported to and from various MetroHealth locations.“ Having
limited resources means limited access to medical care,” November said. It
doesn’t mean you have limited access to us. Balin Law is here to help – click here for our contact information and
