\"Can<\/a><\/p>\n

Social Security Disability (SSD)<\/a> and Supplemental Security Income (SSI)<\/a> are two very distinct benefits programs available through the Social Security Administration (SSA)<\/a>. Their only similarity is that they share a singular end goal: to provide relief for people who struggle to survive because of a disability<\/a>. For this reason, it is even possible to secure \u201cconcurrent SSD and SSDI benefits\u201d<\/a> with the right approach. However, to do so, you must be able to first prove that you qualify for both.<\/p>\n

Qualifying For SSD<\/strong><\/p>\n

To qualify for the SSD<\/a> benefits you need, you must be able to prove with concrete evidence that you suffer from a serious physical or mental disability<\/a> that limits your abilities to maintain gainful employment for a minimum of one year. The Social Security Administration (SSA)<\/a> currently maintains a strict list of qualifying disabilities<\/a> and standards for approval that applicants must meet to qualify. You will also have to make sure you have sufficient work credits to apply.<\/p>\n

Qualifying For SSI<\/strong><\/p>\n

Qualifying for SSI<\/a> benefits is not any easier than trying to secure SSD<\/a> benefits. In addition to the standard disability<\/a> requirements all applicants must meet, there are also income limits to qualify for SSI<\/a> since it is a need-based program. Because of this, qualifying for both SSD and SSI at the same time<\/a> can be especially tricky.<\/p>\n

Why You Should Apply For SSD & SSI<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are numerous reasons a person might want to apply for both SSD and SSI benefits<\/a>. One of the most common reasons is SSD\u2019s<\/a> typical 5-month waiting period. While beneficiaries are without the assistance they need for longer than they are able to survive, SSI<\/a> benefits can help significantly. Getting approved for SSI<\/a> can reduce a ton of financial anxiety and provide much-needed support in the meantime.<\/p>\n

Do You Qualify For SSD\/SSI? <\/strong><\/p>\n

The hands-down best way to determine if you qualify for SSD, SSI, or both<\/a>, is to find the time to connect with experienced attorneys<\/a>, like our Social Security disability attorneys<\/a> at Aiello Law Group<\/a>, to discuss your case. Our advice won\u2019t even cost you a thing in advance. Our attorneys<\/a> will carefully review your case, including all relevant medical data, financial records, and other evidence, to see what benefits, if any, you qualify for.
