Social Security Disability in Los Angeles
The Federal Government offers financial assistance through two federal disability programs, Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI).
To qualify for Social Security Disability in Los Angeles disability claimants must have worked jobs covered by Social Security and paid enough in payroll taxes to be considered “insured”. Social Security Disability Insurance in Los Angeles is only offered to those who are considered disabled by the Social Security Administration and who are unable to work for at least 12 continuous months due to a severe medical condition. Los Angeles SSDI claimants may also receive Medicare coverage 24 months after the onset date of disability. Los Angeles Social Security Disability claimants may also receive dependent benefits which may be paid to certain family members.
If you have not worked or have not worked outside of the home, Supplemental Security Income (SSI) may be offered to Los Angeles claimants if the Social Security Administration decides they are blind, aged or disabled and their resources and income are below the levels allowed by the SSA. Los Angeles Supplemental Security Income (SSI) claimants may also be eligible for Medicaid, in most states, at the time of approval.
