Social Security and SSI Benefits

    Our federal government knows that illness and injury will keep many people from being able to work before they reach their normal retirement age.  The government helps these workers with Social Security Disability Benefits.

    The government provides Supplemental Security Income (SSI) for disabled people who cannot work but do not qualify for Social Security because they have not worked long enough.  Disabled children can also qualify for SSI.

    At Serrano & Serrano, LLC, we help injured and sick people throughout Connecticut and the Springfield - Holyoke area get Social Security Disability or SSI.

    We look at your case for free.  We only charge a fee if we win your case. 

    Please call to schedule an appointment to speak with us about your case.

    You may confidentially send us information for us to review your case or your child's case.
