At Newlin Disability, we&#8217;re here to answer your\u00a0 questions about what SSD benefits may help cover.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Social Security Disability Benefits<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>These benefits are awarded to United States citizens who have worked long enough\u2014and therefore paid enough into the system through taxes\u2014to be eligible. Each individual must also suffer from a qualifying condition listed in the Social Security Administration (SSA) Blue Book of eligible conditions. A person who qualifies for Social Security Disability benefits may not be the only one who is eligible for compensation due to their condition, though.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Children\u2019s and Survivor Benefits<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Children with disabilities may be eligible for benefits if their parents have a qualifying work history and they meet certain age requirements. An <a href=\"\/\/www.nasdaq.com\/article\/social-security-eligibility-how-to-qualify-for-each-benefit-cm397911\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">article<\/a> from NASDAQ explains a spouse or next of kin may also qualify for payments from the SSA if a loved one who had worked and paid into the Social Security program passes unexpectedly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Supplemental Security Income<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Even if you don\u2019t qualify for other SSA programs, you may still be eligible for Supplemental Security Income (SSI). One must be a blind or disabled U.S. citizen age 65 or older with limited income to qualify.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A Social Security Disability Lawyer Can Help<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>At Newlin Disability, we have decades of combined experience helping people get their SSD and SSI benefits, and we want to help you too.
