When you become disabled, it can be confusing trying to figure out what type of Social Security benefits you may be entitled to. The Social Security Administration will determine which benefits you are eligible for. The medical standards for determining disability are the same for SSD and SSI.
To be eligible for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) you must be disabled and meet certain low income requirements. If you are under the age of 65, disabled, and have worked and paid into Social Security you may be eligible for Social Security Disability Benefits (SSD).
For both Supplemental Security Income and Social Security Disability Benefits you will need to answer questions regarding your self, your work and medical history.
A person can qualify for both Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Social Security Disability Benefits (SSD) if you meet the low-income requirements and have paid into Social Security.
The Social Security Administration will take an application for both Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Social Security Disability Benefits (SSD) when you apply. It is important to apply for both types of benefits.
