Social Security Disability Benefits

National Social Security Disability Law Firm | Helping clients with their Social Security Disability claims

If you are out of the work force because of an injury, illness or mental impairment, you may be entitled to federal disability benefits. However, qualifying for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) can be a long, frustrating and complex process. In fact, the vast majority of people are turned down at first.

Many may not realize that they do not qualify for SSDI and may need to instead apply for Supplemental Social Security (SSI), a program designed to help meet the needs of the elderly, disabled, and other individuals who may have a hard time obtaining shelter or basic necessities.

Don’t wait and don’t give up. We can help and we can improve your chances.

What is the difference between SSDI and SSI?

The main difference in these two types of Social Security benefits is that SSD is only available to workers who have accumulated enough credits, typically by working and earning those credits over a 10 year span.

Those who do not have the sufficient amount of credits or were low income earning individuals are open to applying and qualifying for SSI.

Factors such as your current financial state are taken into account when qualifying for SSI.

Other differences in the programs include the type of medical benefits the recipients have access to, whether Medicaid or Medicare.

As well the amount of benefits the recipient receives, with SSDI benefits typically being much higher than typical SSI benefits.

About Social Security Disability

Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) are federal programs. They provide monthly income and other benefits if your physical or mental condition prevents you from sustaining full-time work. Spouses, dependent children and widows/widowers of a disability recipient may also qualify for benefits.

Because of the long process and backlogged system, you should apply as soon as you think that you will be out of the work force for at least a year. Our firm can explain the process and answer all your questions:
