About this service
If you are facing a terminal illness or an immediate financial catastrophe, you may qualify for expedited processing through the Social Security Administration. This service focuses on flagging your application to move to the front of the line due to severe hardship. You need this if your medical condition is listed as a dire need case, meaning you cannot wait for the standard multi-month review process to receive essential support.

What's the difference between SSI and SSDI?
SSI (Supplemental Security Income) is a needs-based program for those with limited income and resources. SSDI (Social Security Disability Insurance) is for individuals who have worked and paid Social Security taxes. Eligibility for SSDI is based on your work history and the severity of your disability. While both provide financial aid, their requirements and funding sources differ.
When can I expect to receive SSDI payments?
SSDI payments are typically made once a month, on a specific date determined by your Social Security number. The exact schedule is set by the Social Security Administration. It can take several months from the date of approval to receive your first payment due to processing. We can help you understand the timeline once your case is underway.
