What makes someone eligible for SSDI?

Eligibility for SSDI in Chesapeake requires you to have a medical condition that prevents you from working for at least 12 months and to have earned sufficient work credits through your employment history. The Social Security Administration assesses both your medical condition and your work record to determine eligibility. Meeting these criteria is key.

Is the ticket to work program a trap?

The Ticket to Work program is a federal initiative designed to help individuals in Chesapeake who receive SSDI or SSI benefits return to work.

What is the difference between SSI and SSDI?

SSDI (Social Security Disability Insurance) is a benefit program based on your work history and the Social Security taxes you've paid.
