Frequently asked in Buffalo

What makes someone eligible for SSDI?

To be eligible for SSDI in Buffalo, you must have a disability that prevents you from engaging in substantial gainful activity and is expected to last at least 12 months or result in death. You also need to have earned a sufficient number of work credits based on your past earnings from employment.

Is the ticket to work program a trap?

The Ticket to Work program is a federal initiative designed to provide employment support services to individuals receiving Social Security disability benefits. It's intended to help beneficiaries return to work if they choose. While it requires careful planning, it's not inherently a trap for those seeking to re-enter the workforce.

What is the difference between SSI and SSDI?

SSDI, or Social Security Disability Insurance, is funded through Social Security taxes and is based on your work history. SSI, or Supplemental Security Income, is a needs-based program for individuals with limited income and resources who are disabled, blind, or over 65. The eligibility criteria are different for each.

What does SSDI usually pay?

Your SSDI benefit amount in New York is calculated based on your average lifetime earnings. The Social Security Administration sets a maximum monthly benefit, but your actual payment will reflect your specific earnings record. We can help you understand what your potential benefit might be.
