Help with Applications and Eligibility

Because DRNC’s work is federally funded, we cannot help you with your applications for Medicaid, Social Security Disability Benefits, or Supplemental Security Insurance—SSI. This is a referral list of organizations and attorneys who may be able to help you with trying to obtain SSDI, SSI or Medicaid. They may also be able to answer questions about your eligibility for Social Security disability or Medicaid benefits.
