SSI Title XVI Claims
Title XVI Disability Benefits (SSI) in Georgia: Explained
At The Holcomb Law Group, LLC we serve Georgia (and nationwide) clients seeking Title XVI Supplemental Security Income (SSI)—a need-based benefit aimed at individuals with limited income and resources, regardless of work history.
What Is Title XVI (SSI)?
Who Qualifies for SSI in Georgia?
To qualify for SSDI benefits, applicants must:
• Individuals without qualifying work credits
• Older adults or children under 18 with severe impairments
• Applicants with minimal savings and low monthly income
• Many Georgia residents receive Medicaid upon SSI approval, which helps with medical expenses and case-building
SSI Application Process
Initial SSI Filing
• Complete medical and financial eligibility forms.
• We help compile bank statements, household income records, doctor notes, and daily living summaries.
Reconsideration
• After the initial denial (which is common), that is denied on the grounds of what the Social Security Administration (SSA) calls a “medical decision”, we manage and submit the “Request for Reconsideration”. This is submitted by using Form SSA-561.
• We draft case summaries, secure updated medical evidence, and complete any additional supporting documents that the SSA requests
ALJ Hearing Support
• Once the SSA denies a request for consideration, we will file a Request for Hearing Before Administrative Law Judge (SSA Form HA – 501).
• At this stage we will gather additional medical records (to support the claim), summarize medical evidence, and submit that to the ALJ.
• We get you ready to testify in court so that you are fully prepared for hearing day.
Appeals Council Review
• If you are denied at the ALJ stage, then we submit written legal arguments for Appeals Council review.
• We highlight procedural errors, overlooked evidence, and misapplication of law to strengthen your chances.
