Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) vs. Supplemental Security Income (SSI)

Thursday, May 20th, 2010

Social Security Disability Insurance benefits are issued if you have been employed continuously for a specified amount of time, and have become disabled and can no longer work. Supplemental Security Income gives financial assistance to those who suffer from disabilities, so they can pay their bills and afford life’s basic needs.
If you have applied for SSDI or SSI benefits and have been denied, the experinced Virginia Social Security lawyers at Kalfus & Nachman will assess your medical and financial records and help you with a successful appeal.
SDI vs. SSI
Funded by Social Security taxes, Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits are paid to you, based on your work history. You must have a qualifying disability, which is a physical or mental impairment that has lasted one continuous year or is expected to last one year or more.
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is a federal assistance program that issues funding to those who are disabled or are age 65 and older with limited income. To qualify for SSI benefits, you must be identified as “underserved” based on your income, owned real estate and money in bonds, bank accounts, etc.
If you or a loved one has filed for SSDI or SSI benefits and has been denied, or your need assistance applying for these disability benefits, please contact the Virginia Social Security lawyers at Kalfus & Nachman today to schedule your free consultation.
