The Social Security Administration (SSA) is a government agency that provides financial assistance to
people who are retired, disabled, or have limited income. The SSA manages several important programs,
including Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI), which help
millions of Americans each year.

You may qualify for SSA benefits depending on your age, work history, income, and medical condition.
Here are some common situations where you might be eligible:
• Disability Benefits (SSDI): For people who have worked and paid Social Security taxes but can no longer
work due to a disability or serious health condition.
• Supplemental Security Income (SSI): For people with limited income or resources, including seniors and
individuals with disabilities who may not have worked enough to qualify for SSDI.
• Retirement Benefits: For workers age 62 or older who have paid into the Social Security system during
their working years.
• Survivor Benefits: For spouses or children of deceased workers who paid into Social Security.
If you are not sure which one applies to you, an authorized representative can help you review your
eligibility and guide you through the process.
Applying for SSA benefits usually begins with filling out an application online or in person. You will need to
provide personal information, medical records, and proof of income. The SSA reviews your paperwork and
may request additional information before making a decision.
If your claim is denied, do not give up. Many people are approved during the appeal stage, especially when
they get help gathering the right documents and responding to requests properly. Working with a
knowledgeable representative can save time and reduce stress throughout the process.
