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.
