Frequently asked in Phoenix
What makes someone eligible for SSDI?
To be eligible for SSDI, you must have a medical condition that prevents you from engaging in substantial gainful activity for a minimum of 12 months. You also need to have earned enough work credits based on your earnings history in Phoenix and elsewhere. The Social Security Administration has specific criteria for determining disability.
Is the ticket to work program a trap?

We can help you understand if this program aligns with your goals and provides the assistance you need in Phoenix.
What is the difference between SSI and SSDI?

Eligibility and benefit calculations are distinct for each program.
