Disability benefits provide financial assistance to individuals who are unable to work due to a disability. The application process can be complex, but it is important to understand the steps involved in order to ensure that you receive the benefits you are entitled to.
There are two main types of disability benefits: Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI). SSDI is available to individuals who have worked and paid into the Social Security system. SSI is available to individuals who have limited income and resources.
