What Is Social Security Disability?
Social Security disability (SSD) is a form of government assistance provided to those who are unable to work due to a disability or medical condition.
There are two separate SSD programs, both of which are overseen by the federal Social Security Administration (SSA):
- Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI): SSDI provides benefits to disabled individuals who are “insured” and whose disabilities meet the SSA’s standards for qualification. To be insured, you must have earned sufficient work credits, meaning you worked in the past and earned taxable income.
- Supplemental Security Income (SSI): SSI is a needs-based program that is available to individuals over the age of 65 or who are disabled or blind and who have limited income and resources. There are no work credit requirements for SSI, meaning you could be eligible for benefits regardless of your work history.
Unfortunately, most initial SSDI and SSI claims are denied. This is often due to errors in the application process, disputed eligibility and other issues. Our Southfield SSD lawyers can help you with your claim and reduce the risk of missing out on your benefits. If your claim is denied, we can also help you file an appeal and navigate the subsequent processes.
