SSDI Help in Birmingham
Social Security Disability Insurance is based on work you did in jobs covered by Social Security. You generally need enough Social Security work credits for your age and when your disability began, plus a medical condition that meets SSA’s disability rules.
The credit requirement is not a single 10-year rule. Younger workers may qualify with fewer credits. Other workers generally need both enough total credits and enough recent work. A diagnosis by itself is not a decision, and being unable to return to your last job is not the whole test.
Birmingham clients often ask whether a long work history automatically qualifies them. It does not. Work credits are one piece. Medical and vocational rules still apply.
SSI Help in Birmingham
Supplemental Security Income is a needs-based program with income, resource and other nonmedical rules. Unlike SSDI, you do not need your own history of Social Security work credits.
SSI can apply to people with limited income and resources who are disabled, blind or age 65 or older and meet the program’s other requirements. For an adult applying based on disability, SSA generally uses the same medical disability standard used for SSDI. Some people may qualify for both programs.
If you are unsure whether SSDI, SSI, or both may apply to your situation, we can help you understand the differences between the programs and the information Social Security will need.
