Don't hesitate to contact us for a free consultation.

You or someone you love can become disabled through any number of ways. You may be injured in a car accident, while at work or at home, or you may have been born with a disabling condition. Some disabilities come about through illness during the course of a lifetime.

No matter how your disability came about, you can take steps to protect yourself and your family financially. The government offers two programs that provide assistance to people with disabilities: Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI).

How to qualify for Social Security benefits

To qualify for SSDI, you generally must have worked for five out of the last 10 years and have a physical or mental condition that prevents you from engaging in any "substantial gainful activity." Furthermore, you must prove to the Social Security Administration that your condition is expected to last at least a year or result in death.

SSI generally is available to those with limited income and resources and who are disabled, blind, or 65 years old or older.

Both programs, administered through the Social Security Administration, are designed to help people with disabilities. These programs differ from other types of financial assistance, such as workers' compensation. The government can determine if you are eligible and meet its definition of disability.
