Types of Disability Matters We Handle
There are several different types of disability programs offered by the federal government.
These include:
- Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI): SSDI is a federal program run by the Social Security Administration (SSA). It provides monthly benefits to qualifying individuals who have earned the appropriate number of work credits and who have medical conditions that meet the SSA’s strict definition of a “disability.” Funds for SSDI come from Social Security-taxed income, meaning you only qualify if you have paid Social Security taxes.
- Supplemental Security Income (SSI): In contrast to SSDI, you do not need to have earned any work credits—or have any work history—to qualify for SSI. Instead, SSI benefits are provided to people who are aged (65 or older), blind, or disabled and who have “limited income and resources,” as defined by the SSA. To qualify, your income and the value of your resources must not exceed certain limits.
- Veterans’ Affairs (VA) Disability Benefits: VA disability benefits are provided to U.S. military veterans who developed disabling physical and/or mental health conditions related to their military service. Those who had preexisting conditions that were worsened by their service, as well as conditions that occurred within one year of being honorably discharged from the military, may also qualify for VA disability.
No matter the type of disability benefits you are seeking or where you are in the process, you can rely on our attorneys to provide the detailed and individualized guidance you need. We offer our legal services on a contingency fee basis, so you do not owe any upfront or out-of-pocket expenses when you work with our firm.
