Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) is a federally funded program designed to aid people who have become disabled and cannot continue working. To qualify, one must have accumulated sufficient work credits and a disability that meets the Social Security Administration's strict criteria. SSDI is pivotal in providing financial assistance to those who have contributed to the system but are now in need due to a disability.
The benefits provided by SSDI are not just monetary but include eligibility for Medicare before the typical age requirement. Our attorneys help clients know their entitlements under SSDI, ensuring they receive all the benefits they deserve. We also assist in managing the often complicated relationship between SSDI and other forms of assistance, such as workers’ compensation.
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is designed to help disabled individuals who have limited or no income and who have not earned sufficient work credits to qualify for SSDI. SSI is imperative in providing basic financial assistance for purchasing food and clothing and covering housing costs. Our firm helps clients determine if they qualify for SSI and guides them through the detailed application process required to prove financial need and disability status.
Unlike SSDI, SSI eligibility is based not on past employment but on financial need and disability. Our lawyers help clients gather and present the necessary evidence to meet the Social Security Administration's criteria for both disability and financial eligibility. We know the nuances of SSI law and work diligently to ensure that our clients receive the maximum benefits allowable under the law.
