Does an injury, illness, or medical impairment prevent you from working on a full-time basis? If so, you may be eligible for federally backed disability compensation. As explained by the Social Security Administration (SSA), two programs provide financial assistance to qualifying people with disabilities: Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI).
Most people need to work to support themselves and their families. If a disability prevents you from earning an income, it can cause serious financial distress. Social Security disability benefits, both in the form of Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) exist to provide a financial lifeline to those in need.
If an injury, illness, or medical impairment keeps you from working, you may be eligible for financial benefits through a Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) claim. SSDI benefits are designed to provide financial support to people who cannot work due to a disabling medical condition.
