Federal Benefits Eligibility Assessment
Not everyone with a disability diagnosis qualifies for federal benefits — and not everyone who qualifies has applied. Leahy Life Plan conducts a thorough eligibility assessment that examines:
- Functional limitations and how they align with SSA evaluation criteria
- Income and asset thresholds for SSI
- Work history and credit accumulation for SSDI
- Age-related eligibility considerations (adult child benefits, DAC benefits)
- Interaction between benefits and current living arrangements
This assessment is designed to give families a realistic picture of their eligibility before an application is filed — reducing the risk of denial, overpayment, or unintended loss of benefits.
