Understanding Social Security Disability

Social Security disability, or SSD, is a federal program overseen by the Social Security Administration (SSA) that provides monthly benefits to qualifying individuals.

There are two main SSD programs:

Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI): SSDI provides benefits to disabled workers who have earned the appropriate work credits. To earn work credits, one must pay Social Security taxes on wages or self-employment income. Additionally, to qualify for SSDI, one must have a medical condition that is considered a “disability” according to the SSA’s definition.
Supplemental Security Income (SSI): SSI was created to help people who have limited income and resources pay for basic needs, such as food and shelter. To qualify, one must be at least 65 years old, blind, or disabled and not have income or resources that are valued above the SSA’s specified income and resource thresholds.

In some cases, a person may be eligible for both SSDI and SSI. In others, they may qualify for only one type of SSD benefits.

Our Griffin disability lawyers at Affleck & Gordon can help you determine whether you are eligible for SSDI, SSI, or both benefit programs. We can also assist you in preparing and filing your initial claim, as well as appealing a denied SSD claim by requesting a reconsideration, an administrative hearing, an Appeals Council review, or even by filing a civil claim in federal court.
