SSI and SSDI

Individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) may be able to qualify for disability benefits if their condition significantly limits their ability to function.

Since not all disabilities are permanent, some people are able to return to work and no longer need SSDI. But what happens if a person's disability returns or worsens and, again, prevents them from working?...

A coalition of national advocacy organizations and individual plaintiffs with disabilities have filed a federal lawsuit against the Social Security Administration, the newly formed Department of Government Efficiency, and top federal officials.

A waiting period helps ensure that SSDI applicants genuinely have a lasting disability, not a short-term illness or injury from which they may recover.

Because Supplemental Security Income (SSI) eligibility and benefit amounts depend on financial need, recipients must report all sources of income to the SSA.

The Social Security Administration has launched a simplified online application for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) for some adults.

Imagine not being able to marry or even live with the person you love. The recently released documentary Patrice: The Movie, now available on Hulu, addresses this emotionally challenging conundrum.

If you rely on Social Security disability benefits programs such as Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), the year ahead will offer a somewhat minimal amount of relief financially.

Over the past year, the Social Security Administration has been making numerous improvements to its SSI program. These changes will make things a bit easier for SSI applicants as well as current recipients.
