What other benefit programs are available to me and how will they work with the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) program?
Many additional benefits programs may be available to you depending on your work history and what benefits an employer has provided. They may include California State Disability Insurance (SDI) program and privately sponsored short and long term disability programs. Supplemental Security Income (SSI) may be available if your Social Security Disability Insurance payments and/or other benefits do not exceed Supplemental Security Income limits, and you meet all other asset limitations. You may also be eligible for health coverage such as Medicare (after waiting periods have been satisfied) Medi-Cal (Medicaid), or private medical insurance coverage.
