Who this may help

Social Security decides eligibility. SSI considers disability, blindness or age 65+, along with income and resources. SSDI requires a qualifying disability and enough covered work history. Some people may qualify for both.

How to start

Use SSA's official application page to identify the right benefit and application path. Gather medical providers, treatment, work history, and household financial information that applies to your claim. Save confirmations and respond to SSA notices.
