What is Social Security Disability?

Social Security Disability (or SSD) is built to help people with disabilities. It is also a very complex program. SSD is actually split into two programs:

  • Social Security Disability Insurance: Disabled people who are looking for Social Security Disability Insurance, may be eligible if you’ve paid Social Security taxes. Benefits vary on your job history, education, medical condition, and other factors.
  • Supplemental Security Income: Created to help those that may be visually impaired, elderly, or have a disability, SSI provides cash for food, clothing, and basic necessities.

The Social Security Administration manages both of these programs. SSD Insurance is supported by payroll taxes and SSI is directed more toward people with disabilities. SSDI benefits are granted when and if you are unable to work due to a disability. As we’ve said, the Social Security Administration has complicated rules for disability payouts, and it’s essential for people to find a qualified Social Security Disability Lawyer for help.

Drummond Law’s Social Security Disability attorneys are dedicated to helping people through these tough situations. To apply, you should be able to prove the following to qualify for the SSD program:

  • Be younger than retirement age
  • Meet the definition of a disability under the SSA
  • Not be able to work for more than a year

If you are looking to apply for Social Security Disability, there are a few ways to do so. You can fill out an application directly on ssa.gov, visit your Social Security Administration office, or call Drummond Law directly if you’re having trouble filing your Social Security Disability claim. It’s important to have your education history, any medical records, and work history on hand to speed up the process.
