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 Winston-Salem

What makes someone eligible for SSDI?

To be eligible for SSDI in Winston-Salem, you generally need to have a qualifying medical condition that's expected to last at least one year or result in death. You also need to have earned enough work credits through your employment history. A licensed pro can assess your specific situation and work history to see if you meet these criteria.

Is the ticket to work program a trap?

A specialist can explain the benefits and potential risks, and advise on whether to participate based on your recovery and career goals.

What is the difference between SSI and SSDI?
