Social Security Disability
What is the difference between SSI and SSD?
Supplemental security income is for individuals who meet the following qualifications:
- Limited income
- No income
- Disabled or blind
- Age 65 or older
- Blind or disabled children
On the other hand, Social Security disability benefits are designed for individuals who meet strict criteria. They may, however, be eligible to receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI), which pays monthly benefits. Supplemental Security Income might also be offered together with Social Security disability benefits. The difference is that SSI does not require any previous hours spent working for an employer covered by Social Security Disability Insurance.
Our legal team understands the importance of providing sufficient evidence when applying for benefits, and can assist you in compiling and obtaining the necessary information you will need to provide. You can visit our qualifying for SSD page to learn more about the criteria you will need to meet.
How to Apply for SSI
For the state of Nevada, the Social Security Administration (SSA) administers Supplemental Security Income. You must make an appointment with your local Social Security office in order to have a representative assist you in your application. You will need to complete and submit certain documentation and speak with a Social Security claims representative in person or over the phone in order for your application to be processed and your claim accepted. You are also allowed to have someone help you with your SSI application, which is why it is extremely beneficial to hire a Las Vegas Social Security disability attorney for counsel and assistance.
