Social Security Disability Programs in Alabama,
Arkansas, Mississippi, Georgia, Louisiana and
Florida
Social Security Disability is a program of the
Federal Government designed to provide monthly
payments to a disabled individual. If you are under
age 65 and unable to work, you may qualify for
Social Security disability benefits. If an injury
or illness prevents you from returning to your job,
you may qualify for monthly Social Security
Disability payments. There are two programs
that people can qualify under - Social Security
Disability Insurance and Supplemental Security
Income (SSI).
Social Security Disability Insurance
(SSD) benefits program. Social Security
Disability insurance benefits are available for
individuals who have worked long enough in recent
years, paid Social Security taxes and are now
disabled. The amount of the payment you receive is
based upon your income while you were able to work.
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits
program.
Supplemental Security Income pays benefits based
on financial need. Supplemental Security Income
benefits are paid to individuals who are poor and
disabled. SSI does not consider whether the
applicant has worked in the past.
Qualifying for Social Security Disability
You must also be totally disabled, or, in the
words of the applicable statute, "incapable of
engaging in substantial gainful employment." If
there is any job which you are capable of performing
and the job is available in sufficient numbers in
the area in which you live, you do not qualify for
Social Security Disability benefits. The medical
requirements for Social Security Disability payments
are the same under both programs for most people.
The process for proof is the same for a disabled
worker.

Disability or Supplemental Security Income
