Qualifying for Social Security Disability Benefits
If you or a loved one is going through life with a disability, it’s almost certain that you’re no longer working. If you’re out of a job due to a sudden illness, the Social Security Administration (SSA) may be able to help. The SSA offers financial aid to people who are unable to work, and dependent family members to help support your loved ones when you are gone.
