Filing for Social Security Disability Benefits
You sustain an crippling injury. Or maybe you or your child are
diagnosed with a chronic debilitating illness. Or maybe time has caught
up with you and you can no longer do what you used to do either
physically or mentally or both. Your limitations are mounting and you
struggle to perform your job and its every day activities. You are
forced to quit or even worse, you are fired. You are not meeting your
financial obligations and you fight to keep medical coverage and receive
much-needed ongoing treatment. Can you relate?
Types of Disability Benefits
Regardless of the cause of your disabling condition, the federal
Social Security Disability Program was enacted to provide you with a
critical safety net in your time of need. There are two types of
disability benefits:
- Social Security Disability Insurance benefits (“SSD”) which are based upon an individual’s work record and,
- Supplemental Security Income benefits (“SSI”)
which are income-based benefits for which no work history is required
in order to apply and can be paid to disabled adults and children.
