Missourians with medical conditions that prevent them from working may qualify for Social Security disability benefits. Learn about the process of applying for Social Security Administration's disability and the average benefit amounts for Missouri residents below.
For more information about the disability benefits, check out the Atticus Advice Center.
In 2022, the Social Security Administration (SSA) provided disability benefits for more than 225,000 Missouri residents.
When you have a question for the SSA, they often suggest calling their national number, or visiting their website.
Applying for Social Security disability benefits can feel overwhelming, but you're not alone.
If you live in Missouri and are unable to work due to a disability, you may be eligible for federal benefits programs.
In Missouri, more than 220,000 residents receive financial assistance through the Social Security Administration’s federal disability programs.
At the bottom of many websites, you'll find a small disclaimer: "We are not a law firm and are not qualified to give legal advice." If you see this, run the other way. These people can't help you: they're prohibited by law from giving meaningful advice, recommending specific lawyers, or even telling you whether you need a lawyer at all.
There’s no disclaimer here: Atticus is a law firm, and we are qualified to give legal advice. We can answer your most pressing questions, make clear recommendations, and search far and wide to find the right lawyer for you.
Two important things to note: If we give you legal advice, it will be through a lawyer on our staff communicating with you directly. (Don't make important decisions about your case based solely on this or any other website.) And if we take you on as a client, it will be through a document you sign. (No attorney-client relationship arises from using this site or calling us.)
