Filing For SSDI Versus SSI Benefits in Hendersonville
If you meet the basic criteria to qualify for SSD benefits, our law firm will help you apply at the Hendersonville Social Security office or online. Contact our Farmer & Morris Law, PLLC team today to learn whether you qualify for any SSD benefit program.
Find Out if You Qualify for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI)
Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits meet the needs of individuals who meet the SSA’s definition of disabled and the following criteria:
- You worked long enough to qualify
- You worked recently enough to qualify
- You paid for Social Security Insurance while working
Doctors must expect your disability to last at least a full year and prevent you from working to support yourself.
Find Out if You Qualify for Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) meets the needs of disabled persons who:
- Have little to no financial support
- Have little to no available resources
- Are blind or at least 65 years of age
The amount of financial support you receive will vary based on where you live, your assets, your income, and other factors. Because SSI is need-based, you may need to make monthly reports of any changes to these factors.
Finally, you could sometimes simultaneously qualify for SSDI and SSI program benefits.
