Should I apply for social Security disability or SSI disability ?Frankly, you do not have a choice as to which disability program you may apply for. When you have your disability interview, the claims representative (the individual at the social security office who takes your application) will review all potential Social Security entitlements. If you have enough earnings (from your work history) to be entitled to disability insured status, an application for social security disability may be taken. If you have not paid enough into the system to qualify for SSD, you may still be entitled to file for SSI disability. However, as SSI is a need-based program, this will depend on your income and resource levels. For more information on: Social Security Disability and SSI Disability.
