Hello, The Social Security Administration (SSA) provides two programs that can help people with disabilities: Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI). While the SSDI program is intended for people who have worked and paid into the Social Security system, the SSI program provides benefits to disabled adults and children who have limited income and resources. If you are considering applying for SSDI or SSI benefits in Portsmouth, hiring a Social Security Disability lawyer is one of the best decisions you can make.
