ANSWERS TO Social Security Disability AND SSI QUESTIONS



Answers to Social Security Disability and SSI Questions









The federal disability system is administered by the social security administration and is comprised of two separate programs: Social Security Disability and SSI, which stands for supplemental security income. Both programs use the same disability criteria and claims taken in either program are evaluated in exactly the same manner.

Therefore, with the exception of non-medical issues (meanings issues that pertain to non-medical criteria, such as issues concerning income and assets), the answers given to questions on www.ssdrc.com pertain equally to both Social Security Disability and SSI eligibility.
