Frequently asked in Tampa
What makes someone eligible for SSDI?
To be eligible for SSDI in Tampa, you generally need to have worked long enough and recently enough in jobs covered by Social Security. Your condition must also be severe enough to prevent you from doing substantial gainful activity and be expected to last at least one year or result in death. A specialist can review your specific situation.
Is the Ticket to Work program a trap?

The goal is to help you become self-supporting without losing your benefits during the transition. Pros can explain how it might apply to you.
What is the difference between SSI and SSDI?

SSDI (Social Security Disability Insurance) is an insurance program funded by Social Security taxes, based on your work history. Both help disabled individuals in Tampa, but eligibility differs.
