Navigating these programs can be challenging, so here’s a quick overview

Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) : Established in 1956, SSDI is designed for individuals who have a severe physical or mental impairment preventing them from working. SSDI is *not* charity; it’s a benefit Americans have earned by paying into the Social Security system through payroll deductions. It serves as a safety net for those who can no longer work due to disability.

– Supplemental Security Income (SSI): SSI offers financial support to individuals with limited income and resources, regardless of their work history or contributions to Social Security.

Both SSDI and SSI require a severe impairment that restricts one’s ability to work.

To explore your eligibility for Social Security benefits, reach out to SSDI America. We specialize in Social Security claims nationwide—call 1-833-452-9933 to get started.

You can start your Social Security Disability application [here](Social Security Disability Application). You’ll need to provide details about yourself, your family, employment history, income sources, and your medical conditions, including physician information. Supporting documents are required to verify your claims, and because the Social Security Administration’s (SSA) approval process can be lengthy, thorough documentation of all medical issues and limitations is essential.

Applications managed by experienced representatives often see higher approval rates. SSDI America can assist you from the initial stages, helping you collect necessary documents and avoid common errors that could lead to delays or denials.

How Much Am I Entitled

The Social Security Administration periodically sends out a Social Security Statement summarizing your lifetime earnings and the potential monthly benefit if you qualify. You can also request this information on the SSA website by accessing your [Social Security Statement](Social Security Statement).

Typically, it takes at least three months or longer to receive a decision on an initial disability application. The timeframe can vary based on several factors, including:

• The nature of your disability
• The speed at which medical evidence from your doctors or other medical sources is collected and submitted
• Whether a medical examination is required
• A review of your application and supporting documents for quality assurance
• SSDI America, we can assist you throughout the application process by communicating with your claims evaluator and providing the necessary information to expedite your claim. We can also help determine if a Consultative Examination (CE) is needed and coordinate with your physician(s) to provide relevant medical information.
