The Basics About Disability Benefits
The Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) program pays benefits to you and certain family members if you are “insured,” meaning that you worked long enough – and recently enough - and paid Social Security taxes on your earnings. The Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program pays benefits to disabled adults and children who have limited income and resources.
While the Social Security and Supplemental Security Income disability programs are different, the medical requirements are the same. If you meet the non-medical requirement criteria, monthly benefits are paid if you have a medical condition that’s expected to last at least one year or result in death.
The Disability Application Process
The disability benefits application process follows these general steps, whether you apply online, by phone, or in person:
You gather the information and documents you need to apply. We recommend you print and review the Adult Disability Checklist. It will help you gather the information you need to complete the application.
You complete and submit your application.
We review your application to make sure you meet some basic requirements for disability benefits.
We check whether you worked enough years to qualify.
We evaluate any current work activities.
We process your application and forward your case to the Disability Determination Services office in your state.
This state agency completes the disability determination decision for us.
To learn more about who decides if you are disabled, read our publication Disability Benefits.
Once You've Applied
Once we receive your application, we’ll review it and contact you if we have any questions. We might request additional documents from you before we can process your application.

Social Security Programs: There are two forms of disability benefits available for you: Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Medically qualifying for each is the same, but technically, SSDI and SSI have their own criteria. SSDI is for people who have worked and paid Social Security taxes, while SSI is for people with a dire financial need. Speak with an attorney to determine if you should apply for SSDI, SSI, or even both. You can learn more on:
Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), or Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
