Social Security Disability Programs:

The Social Security Administration provides a number of disability programs designed to assist the disabled. If you believe that you have a disability and think that you meet the requirements, click on the link that follows: (http://www.socialsecurity.gov/disability).

There are two disability programs administered by the Social Security Administration:

1-Social Security Disability Insurance which pays benefits to qualified individuals and their family; and

2-Supplemental Security Income which pays benefits based on financial need to qualified individuals and their family.

To apply for benefits an individual must take certain steps. This process can be very difficult and confusing for it is necessary to provide medical records and personal information. The Social Security Administration provides a ‘starter kit’ and an individual can also fill out the Benefits Eligibility Screening Tool (https://s044a90.ssa.gov/apps12/best/benefits/) to determine what programs the individual might quality for.

I recommend that if an individual gets confused, or simply needs help in navigating the labyrinth bureaucracy of the SSA, that they contact a Social Security Disability lawyer to assist with the process.
