How does Social Security decide disability?

Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and

Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Benefits

For most of us, the idea of disability is just not something we think about. But even the Social Security Administration acknowledges that a 20-year-old worker has a 3 in 10 chance of becoming disabled before reaching retirement age!

You may have a reason now to find out about disability benefits. On this page you can learn about what programs are available.

The Social Security Administration administers two disability programs: disability insurance and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program. There are similarities and differences.

While Congress has defined disability, the Social Security Administration uses a special 5-step process to decide whether a claimant is disabled.

The appeal process is a bit complicated and confusing.
