What Are SSDI and SSI, and How Do They Help?
The Social Security Administration (SSA) manages two primary programs to help individuals with disabilities: Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Understanding which program you qualify for is critical.
- SSDI Benefits: SSDI is available to individuals who have worked and contributed to the Social Security system. If you’ve paid into Social Security and now have a medical condition that prevents you from working, SSDI benefits can help replace a portion of your lost income. This program is not need-based, but you must meet specific work credit requirements.
- SSI Benefits: SSI is for individuals with limited income and resources who are disabled, blind, or aged 65 and older. Unlike SSDI, you don’t need a prior work history to qualify for SSI benefits, making it an essential option for those who haven’t worked enough to earn sufficient credits.
Challenges Macomb County Residents Face When Applying for Benefits
The SSDI and SSI application processes are known for being complex and often frustrating. Many deserving applicants are denied benefits on their first attempt due to avoidable errors. Common challenges include:
- Incomplete applications–Missing information or incomplete forms are frequent reasons for denials.
- Lack of medical evidence–The SSA requires detailed medical documentation proving that your condition prevents you from working. Without this, claims are often denied.
- Long processing times–The waiting period for an initial decision can take months, leaving applicants in financial limbo.
- Appealing a denial–The appeals process involves multiple levels of review, which can feel intimidating without proper guidance.
