This issue brief, developed in collaboration with the SOAR TA Center, discusses the disability determination process and medical eligibility criteria for child SSI applications.
The SOAR model’s culturally-sensitive engagement process and holistic approach to SSI/SSDI application assistance can be a critical support for American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) community members whether residing on or off reservations.
This culturally tailored toolkit was developed to guide SOAR providers in establishing, growing, and sustaining their SOAR initiatives with Native communities.
