Who Is Eligible For SSI Benefits?
The Social Security Administration offers two disability programs for individuals who are no longer able to work as a result of their physical or emotional impairments. If a person does not have enough work credits to qualify for Disability Insurance Benefits and they have limited resources, they might be eligible for Supplemental Security Income.
A person must still be found disabled by the Social Security Administration to receive these benefits, but this person’s work history is not taken into account. Sometimes, individuals can qualify for both programs, so it’s important to know the difference between the two programs.
