West Covina SSA Office & Resources

According to a study by Disabled World News, there are an estimated 4.2 million California residents currently living with a disability.

Of these 4.2 million Californians, approximately 832,000 are living with a disability that is severe enough to prevent them from engaging in their normal activities of daily living such as dressing, cooking, bathing, traveling, working, or even moving in general.

If you are one of these 832,000 Californians whose disability prevents them from living their normal life, then Social Security disability benefits may be for you.

Whether you’re just learning about the program or are in the middle of your application, a great way to better your chances is to educate yourself on the Social Security resources in your area.
