Qualifications to receive SSI and SSDI benefits in Honolulu

How do you know if you qualify for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) in Honolulu? The Social Security Administration must determine you are disabled with a health condition which is so severe you are not able to perform substantial gainful activity (SGA) for at least 12 continuous months. The SSA considers SGA work in 2011 as making more than $1,000 per month.

Disabled workers must also have worked jobs covered by Social Security and paid enough in payroll taxes to be considered “insured” by the Social Security Administration. Honolulu workers will generally need 20 to 40 work credits to qualify for SSDI; however, the exact amount of credits will depend on the age of the worker at the time of their disability. Medicare is also offered to SSDI recipients 24 months after their date of disability.

Many workers have not worked or have worked and not paid payroll taxes. Do these workers qualify for Social Security Disability Insurance in Honolulu? No, workers who do not have sufficient work credits and are not considered insured by the SSA will not qualify for SSDI in Honolulu.

The Federal Government, however, does offer another cash assistance program to the blind, aged (65 years or older) or disabled who have very low income and resources. SSI recipients, in most states, may also be eligible for Medicaid at the time of approval.
