SSDI & SSI Benefits

Applying for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits is complicated and sometimes discouraging. Most people do not fully understand how SSDI and SSI can help them or if they qualify.

An experienced Luzerne County Social Security disability attorney from Slusser Law Firm can help you understand how the system works.

What Is SSDI?

SSDI provides income to people who cannot work because of their permanent or temporary disability. Provided by the federal government, SSDI is funded by taxes on workers’ income. Benefits are based on the number of years you have worked and how much you have contributed.

In order to receive assistance, you must apply for benefits and be approved by the Social Security Administration.

What Is SSI?

SSI was established for people who are retired or at retirement age (currently 65 or older). Income can also be received by those who are blind or otherwise disabled. The amount you receive is based on several criteria, including your current income and resources. In order to receive benefits, you must apply to the Social Security Administration, and they will review your case.
