About this service

Transitioning from SSI to SSDI happens when your work history or age makes you eligible for the insurance-based program instead of the needs-based one. This is often a positive change because SSDI benefits can be higher and allow for more assets. You need this service if you have recently accumulated enough work credits or if your circumstances have changed. A professional can help you determine your eligibility and navigate the transition between these two distinct federal programs.

Frequently asked in Norfolk

What makes someone eligible for SSDI?
Is the ticket to work program a trap?

The Ticket to Work program is designed to help SSDI beneficiaries in Norfolk transition back to employment. It's not a trap, but understanding its guidelines and how it fits your individual recovery and career aspirations is important. A specialist can help you weigh the pros and cons of participation.

What is the difference between SSI and SSDI?

SSI (Supplemental Security Income) is a needs-based program for individuals with limited income and resources, regardless of work history. SSDI (Social Security Disability Insurance) is an insurance program based on your past work contributions. Determining which program, or if both, apply to your situation in Norfolk is vital.

What does SSDI usually pay?
What is the most a SSDI lawyer can charge?
