What Kinds of Disability Benefits Can I Get?
The Social Security Administration (SSA) runs two different disability benefits programs that provide a lifeline to you depending on your situation:
- Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI)This benefit is for you if you worked a substantial amount and paid into the SSA system. It provides monthly disability checks in amounts based on your past income, up to a limit. And SSDI qualifies you for Medicare health coverage.
- Supplemental Security Income (SSI)You could get SSI if you have not worked enough, or have not worked recently enough, to qualify for SSDI. It pays a monthly amount pre-determined by the government. Families of children with disabilities can also get SSI benefits. And with SSI, you qualify for Medicaid health coverage.
If you’re not sure which program is right for you, Greenbaum Breuer & Associates’ disability lawyers can take a look at your situation and let you know your options.

Do I Have a Case for Social Security Disability Benefits?
One of the first questions you might have is whether you qualify for benefits.
You should know that all kinds of health problems are covered under Social Security Disability, both physical and mental.
The requirements to win benefits seem simple enough:
- Your health problems are severe enough that it is impossible for you to continue in past jobs.
- You also cannot switch to any new job.
- And your condition will last at least one year.
The part that is not so simple is proving it.
Proving you meet the requirements for Social Security Disability means filling out forms, submitting evidence and making arguments.
The disability attorneys at Greenbaum Breuer & Associates have dedicated their careers to taking on the legal legwork and fighting through the government’s complicated system, so you can worry less and focus on your own well-being.
