The federal government loves its acronyms. Fayetteville area residents who are exploring their Social Security disability benefits may feel lost in the alphabet soup that Social Security and attorneys frequently use. Social security disability is important for many residents so knowing what some of the acronyms mean can be important.
Three frequent acronyms used in referring to Social Security disability include RSDI, SSD, and SSI. RSDI is an acronym that stands for Retirement, Survivors, and Disability Insurance. It refers to benefits that are paid to a disabled child or widow of someone who has worked. The benefits may come from survivors benefits, disability benefits or retirement benefits. SSD stands for Social Security Disability. These are the benefits paid to a person who has worked and is now suffering from a medical condition where they can no longer work because of it. Finally, SSI refers to Supplementary Security Income. SSI is for disabled children or disabled adults who most of the time have never worked. They suffer from a disability which prevents them from working and offers them some income. Children who are under 18 only qualify if they have been disabled since childhood.
Fayetteville area residents who are navigating the Social Security Disability system may find all of the acronyms used maddening. A legal professional who specializes in Social Security Disability can help their client understand the acronyms and familiarize them with the process of obtaining these benefits. They can explain to their clients what is needed to pursue these benefits and make sure they receive the benefits that they are entitled to. They can advocate on their client’s behalf and help them tap into the benefits that they are eligible for.
When a Fayetteville area resident is no longer able to work due to an injury or medical condition, they often wonder how they will be able to make ends meet. Social Security Disability is a federal program that often can help in these situations.
