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 St. Paul

What makes someone eligible for SSDI?

To be eligible for SSDI in St. Paul, you need to have worked and paid Social Security taxes for a certain amount of time. Your medical condition must also be severe enough to prevent you from doing any substantial gainful activity for at least 12 months. The pros can review your work history and medical records to assess your eligibility.

Is the Ticket to Work program a trap?

The Ticket to Work program in St. Paul is designed to help you return to work if your condition improves. It's not a trap, but it's important to understand the rules and how it interacts with your SSDI benefits. A specialist can explain the program's benefits and potential drawbacks for your specific situation.

What is the difference between SSI and SSDI?

In St. Paul, SSI (Supplemental Security Income) is a needs-based program for disabled individuals with limited income and resources, regardless of work history. SSDI (Social Security Disability Insurance) is an insurance program funded by your past Social Security contributions. The pros can help you determine which program, or if both, you might qualify for.

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

In St. Paul, SSDI lawyers typically work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if you win your case. You'll get a clear understanding of these potential costs during your initial call.
