There are 2 general types of Social Security Disability benefits, Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Retirement, Survivors, and  Disability Insurance (RSDI). Depending on your work background or lack thereof, you may qualify for only one of those benefits and, in some cases, you may be eligible to qualify for both benefits. These benefits provide not only monthly income, but eligibility for medical health insurance coverage through Medicare. The Social Security Administration has very specific guidelines and proof of financial and medical eligibility requirements that require you to be prepared to answer in order to qualify. Before you begin your potentially long application process with the Social Security Administration (SSA), give Richard R. Budney, Jr. a call to discuss your situation.
