Social Security Disability
Social Security Disability provides crucial financial support for individuals who are unable to work due to a qualifying physical or mental condition. Administered by the Social Security Administration (SSA), these programs ensure that those facing serious disabilities can maintain financial stability.
Two Primary Programs
-
Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI): For individuals who have contributed to Social Security through their work history.
-
Supplemental Security Income (SSI): Needs-based benefits for individuals with limited income and resources, regardless of work history.
Eligibility requires a medically documented disability that prevents substantial gainful activity. The SSA carefully reviews medical records, work history, and other evidence to determine qualification.
Why Social Security Disability Matters:
-
Provides monthly financial support to meet essential living expenses
-
Grants access to Medicare (for SSDI) or Medicaid (for SSI)
-
Offers additional resources, including vocational rehabilitation and supportive programs
