Frequently asked in Boston

What makes someone eligible for SSDI?

Eligibility for SSDI in Boston hinges on work credits earned through paying Social Security taxes and having a medical condition that prevents substantial gainful activity for at least a year. The Social Security Administration reviews your medical records and work history to determine if you meet these strict criteria. Consulting with a local expert can clarify your specific situation and the steps involved in proving your disability.

Is the ticket to work program a trap?

The Ticket to Work program is designed to help SSDI beneficiaries return to work, offering employment support services. For some in Boston, it can be a valuable resource for rehabilitation and job placement. However, it's crucial to understand the program's rules and how it affects your benefits. Speaking with an advisor who understands the program's implications is highly recommended to make an informed decision.

What is the difference between SSI and SSDI?

SSDI is a benefit for those who have worked and paid Social Security taxes, while SSI is a needs-based program for individuals with limited income and resources, regardless of work history. Many people in Boston may qualify for one, the other, or even both. Understanding these distinctions is vital for filing the correct application and receiving the benefits you're entitled to. A quick call can help clarify which program best suits your needs.
