An Insurance System for America
Social Security Disability (SSD) is a government insurance system that you and other American workers paid into while working so that benefits are available when you need them. Here are some frequently asked questions regarding SSD that you may be thinking about.

What Is the Difference Between SSI and SSDI?
There are many different acronyms when it comes to the Social Security system. Many Americans get confused between SSI and SSDI. SSDI is Social Security Disability Insurance, which is for disabled workers who have accumulated enough work credits to qualify for the insurance program. SSI stands for Supplemental Security Income and benefits low-income persons who have not earned enough work credits to be eligible for SSDI or who do not have a work history.
Is It True that Denials of Benefit Appeals
Are Common?
Yes, while it is true that appeals and denials are part of the SSD process for many, having a skilled lawyer on your side can reduce the chance that you will be denied.
