Social Security and Supplemental Security.

Just so you know, the Social Security and Supplemental Security Income disability programs are the largest of several different federal programs that provide assistance to people with disabilities throughout North Carolina and the nation. These two programs are different in many ways, however both are administered by the Social Security Administration.

For example, Social Security Disability Insurance pays benefits to you as well as certain members of your family if you are "insured." That means you have worked long enough and paid Social Security taxes. The difference is that Social Security Income pays benefits based on the financial needs of North Carolinians.

Do I Qualify for SSDI?

It is a whole lot more than the proverbial “64 dollar question”.  Your entire future is at stake.  First, you must qualify under the very stringent guidelines the Social Security Administration has put forth.  The good news is that the process has improved over time and you can more easily navigate through it to better understand your qualifications.

Here are some things that we need to remember –

1.  Are you still working?

2.  How severe is your current condition?

3.  Is your condition recognized by the Social Security Administration?

4.  Are you capable of doing other types of work?

These are questions (among others) that we should sort out together.  I am North Carolina Social Security Disability Attorney Alden Cole.  From my office in Wilmington I help people of this area successfully apply for SSDI.  Please give me a call at (910) 231-2042 and we will sit down at my office located at 206 N. 4th Street Suite 9 in Wilmington.
