Dauphin County SSDI Benefits Attorneys — Are You Entitled to Disability Benefits?
Social Security disability benefits can provide the financial support you need when you are disabled and cannot support yourself.
- Social Security disability insurance (SSDI): If you have a disability that renders you incapable of working for at least one year, or if you suffer from a terminal illness, you may be eligible for SSDI benefits. In addition to meeting disability requirements, applicants must have also worked a sufficient number of years (paying into the Social Security program through employment tax deductions) prior to becoming disabled.
- Supplemental Security Income (SSI): If you are not eligible for SSDI benefits because you have not worked enough to be insured, you may still qualify for SSI benefits. SSI provides monthly income to people who are disabled, blind or over 65, and are income-eligible. SSI may be the only option available for children in need of disability payments.
