At USDG, our goal is simple: to provide our clients with professional and successful representation in order to ensure an award of Social Security Disability benefits. At USDG, we offer legal assistance in obtaining two kinds of disability benefits offered by the Social Security Administration: Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Additionally, you need to meet non-disability-related requirements. These requirements are outlined below:
SSDI- In general, SSDI benefits are available to individuals who have paid sufficient F**A taxes as a result of their employment. To be eligible, you must have worked approximately 5 out of 10 years prior to becoming disabled. SSI- Supplemental Security Income (SSI), also known as Title XVI benefits, is available to disabled individuals who have limited income and resources. It is designed to provide income for elderly, blind, and disabled individuals who have little or no income and do not have a work history that would qualify them for SSDI benefits. How much income you can have and still receive SSI depends, in part, on what state you live in. To find out if you are eligible, contact us now for a free consultation.
