Filing for social security retirement benefits is a far simpler process than applying for social security disability. How to get disability benefits approved is largely based on proving the extent to which one's condition limits their ability to work. Retirement benefits, by great contrast, are age-based, and the application process is fairly simple. Keep in mind, however, that situations involving early social security retirement, particularly when work issues and self-employment issues are involved, can be significantly more complicated--for additional information on such issues, refer to the social security retirement link, indicated in red at the top of the page.

Regarding Disability information: Individuals filing for disability will naturally have questions regarding disability benefits. Relevant questions will include how to file for disability, how to qualify for disability, how to complete a social security disability application, how to obtain the social security disability status on a case, whether or not to obtain a social security lawyer, how to interpret a social security award letter, the various disability requirements and so forth. Filing for either social security disability benefits or SSI benefits will typically involve applying for disability at a local social security office, though the disability process can be initiated over the phone or online. Though SSD and SSI disability are separate programs, the programs are adjudicated in exactly the same manner, meaning that applying for social security disability is essentially no different than how to qualify for ssi (aside from the asset/resource limits that apply exclusively to ssi qualifications). For information on disability benefits, refer to the blue link at the top of the page.
