If you are unable to work because of a medical condition, Social Security Disability benefits may be an option. Two programs come up most often, SSDI and SSI, and they have different eligibility rules. Understanding the difference can help you focus your application and avoid confusion early in the process.
SSDI is generally based on your work history and whether you have earned enough work credits through payroll taxes. SSI is needs based and considers income and resources, and it may apply even if you have limited work history. Some people may qualify for both, depending on their work record and current financial situation.
If you are not sure which program applies to you, a short review of your work history, income, and medical limitations can clarify the path forward. DWB LAW, LLC helps clients in Miami Dade County evaluate SSDI and SSI options and prepare claims and appeals with clear documentation.
