What are Disability Benefits?
The Social Security Administration pays disability benefits through two programs. The programs are called Social Security disability insurance (also known as SSDI), and Supplemental Security Income (also known as SSI). SSDI is available to people who are found medically disabled and who have worked and paid into the system. SSI is available to people who are found medically disabled, do not have enough quarters paid into the system, and are financially eligible for benefits.
If you have a disability that prevents you from working you may be eligible for Social Security Disability benefits from the Social Security Administration. There are several issues with which you must be concerned to ensure your qualification. The whole process can seem daunting. An experienced attorney can answer your Social Security Disability benefits questions, and help you through any level of the qualification process.
