Disability Programs
The Social Security Administration offers two programs that provides disability benefits:
Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI or Title II) and
Supplemental Security Income
(SSI or Title XVI)
SSDI
This disability benefits program is offered to those who have worked five full years out of the past ten and recently become unable to work due to a disability. This is an insurance benefit paid to those that have been paying into the system via payroll and individual income tax.
SSI
This disability benefit is available to individuals with little to no income and very few resources. Social Security will determine the value of assets and also look at total household income to determine eligibility.
With the help of Disability Advisors, we will determine your eligibility and help you apply. In some cases, a claimant is eligible to receive benefits from both programs. We can determine this and help you file a concurrent social security disability claim.
