SSI claims – Supplemental Security Income may be available to a person who is unable to work because of their age, disability or blindness. The program provides a basic income to pay living expenses when a medical condition prevents you from working for at least one year or is likely to result in death. Medicare may also be available. SSI is means tested, and other income may play a role in your benefits. Our team can handle your claim on your behalf. Disability discrimination – The Americans with Disabilities Act prohibits disrimination against people with disabilities in the workplace. An employer must provide reasonable accommodations for you to complete the job even with a disability. As long as you can perform the essential functions of the job and the accommodation isn’t too costly, you have a right to the accommodation. If an employer refuses to hire you or doesn’t give you a reasonable accommodation, our legal team can help you pursue your rights. We’re passionate about making sure that all individuals exercise their right to a fair workplace.
