Defining Supplemental Security Income
Long-term disability is a topic that most people do not think about until confronted with the inability to work. Often, individuals have maintained regular careers up until a specific point, such as a car accident or workplace accident. When faced with the inability to work regularly and subsequent loss of income, the prospects can seem frightening.
The Social Security Administration operates two programs to provide disabled individuals with financial assistance: Social Security disability insurance (SSD) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Though often confused due to similarities, these programs are very different in nature and in purpose.
Both programs require proof of severe disability and the inability to return to regular, full-time employment. However, Social Security disability benefits are intended to provide financial assistance for workers who have paid a sufficient amount of Social Security taxes. Supplemental Security Income is intended to provide financial assistance for lower-income individuals who do not have enough work credits to qualify for SSD benefits.
Simplifying Complex Processes
At Sullivan Sullivan and McGuire, we represent the interests of those seeking financial benefits through either the SSD or the SSI systems. Our legal team is able to answer questions, work with personal physicians and assist through every step of the filing process.
