Social Security & VA Benefits

Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits are provided to disabled workers and their families who are considered “insured,”  This means that they worked throughout their lives and paid Social Security taxes through their paychecks. 

Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is a separate program that provides benefits to disabled adults and children who have little income and few resources to meet their everyday needs. To be eligible, your income and financial resources must be less than specific limits set by the program. It is also available to individuals aged 65 and above who are not disabled but who qualify under the program’s financial limits. 

Veteran Administration (VA) benefits provide health care, education, pensions, home loans, disability compensation, and more to those who have served in the military. It also applies to spouses, children, and parents of deceased and disabled service personnel or veterans. These benefits must be applied for according to the VA and are only available to those who have not been dishonorably discharged. 

More About Social Security Benefits

SSDI is available to those who have medical conditions that prevent them from working. The medical condition is expected to last for a minimum of a year or be terminal. It must be a condition that does not allow you to continue the work you have performed previously or it prevents you from being able to do some other type of work. The Social Security Administration provides a list of disabilities that fall under its guidelines for the types of conditions that make one eligible.

These conditions include but are not limited to:

  • heart disease
  • mental illnesses
  • cancer 
  • stroke
  • arthritis
  • nervous system disorders
