Description

The Family Law Practitioner's Guide to Social Security 2nd Edition Lydia Terrill ISBN 9781641057271

Provisions of the Social Security Act are complex, yet family lawyers must understand how they affect the clients they represent. This focused and practical guide provides a clear explanation of Supplemental Security Income (SSI) provisions and Social Security benefits, and examines their broad impact on family law cases.

Drawing on the Social Security Act, its implementing regulations, and extensive case law, this updated edition answers the most common and critical questions practitioners face when Social Security issues arise. Topics include:

  • An overview of Social Security benefits

  • Derivative benefits, including those available to spouses, divorced spouses, surviving spouses and surviving divorced spouses, parents, children, grandchildren, and same-sex couples

  • Determining eligibility for derivative benefits, an often complex and fact-specific process

  • Evidence required by the Social Security Administration to establish entitlement to benefits

  • Social Security disability benefits, SSI, and Medicare

  • Treatment of Social Security benefits in family law matters, including divorce, alimony, and child support

Clear, practical, and authoritative, this guide equips family law practitioners with the knowledge they need to confidently address Social Security issues and effectively advocate for their clients.
