Disability

The Social Security Administration (SSA) manages two disability benefits programs: Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI). SSDI is part of Social Security's Old Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance (OASDI) program and is paid out of Social Security taxes and the Social Security trust fund. Both programs use the same definition of disability: the inability to work full-time for at least a year due to a serious medical condition. Social Security will look at your current work activity, your work history, your function report, and your medical records to see how much your condition limits you. The key to getting approved for disability benefits is to have the proper documentation from your doctor about your physical and mental limitations along with supporting clinical or laboratory results.
