SSDI and SSI Benefits 

Social Security Administration (SSA) administers both SSDI and SSI benefits. The medical requirements needed to qualify for either the SSDI or SSI benefits are the same. What qualifies as a disability is also the same under both programs. The difference is that SSDI benefits are a form of insurance, while SSI benefits are a safety net for disabled persons with little or no income. If you plan to apply for SSDI or SSI benefits in Tulsa, we will aggressively represent you.

What Qualifies as a Disability?

A disability is a physical or mental impairment that is expected to last at least one year and possibly lead to death. You are disabled if you can no longer engage in meaningful work because of a medical condition that is life-threatening or expected to last (or has lasted) for more than one year. For example, if you become blind, you will also be eligible for social security benefits.
