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?

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?
