HOW DO YOU GET SSI DISABILITY BENEFITS ?





The ssi, or supplemental security income, program provides disability benefits to individuals who meet the social security administration's definition of disability and who also meet the requirements for ssi.

What this means is two-fold. First of all, an ssi applicant cannot have income or assets that exceed the allowable limits for ssi. Secondly, an ssi applicant must have a condition that prevents them from being able to do their past work or suitable forms of other work for a length of time that lasts--or can be projected to last--not less than twelve months. For children, this roughly translates to deficits that result in an inability to engage in age-appropriate activities.

Many claimants, of course, confuse the ssi disability and social security disability programs. And this is fairly easy to do since SSA does not generally attempt to explain to claimants what the differences between the two disability programs are. In a nutshell, here are the differences between ssi and ssd (social security disability). SSI is a disability program intended for individuals who have never worked (such as children), individuals whose work was so far back that they are now no longer insured for social security disability benefits, and individuals whose earnings were insufficient to grant them insured status for social security disability.
