Disability Benefits FAQs

Common questions about SSDI, disability benefits, and how this service works.

Is Disability Aid Pro part of the Social Security Administration?

No. Disability Aid Pro is an independent advertising and marketing referral service. It is not a government agency, law firm, or insurance provider, and it is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Social Security Administration (SSA). Eligibility for SSDI, SSI, or any other program is decided by the applicable government agency.

What is SSDI?

Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) is a federal program that pays monthly benefits to people who can no longer work because of a qualifying medical condition and who have earned enough work credits through payroll taxes. It is different from Supplemental Security Income (SSI), which is need-based.

What is the difference between SSDI and SSI?

SSDI is based on your work history, while SSI is based on financial need. Our blog guide to SSDI vs SSI explains the differences in more detail.

How does Social Security define disability?

Generally, you must have a medical condition that prevents you from doing substantial work, and that has lasted or is expected to last at least 12 months or result in death. The SSA reviews medical evidence, work history, age, and education when it makes a decision.

Does it cost anything to use Disability Aid Pro?

No. Submitting the form and speaking with a specialist costs you nothing and carries no obligation. Disability Aid Pro may receive compensation from its partner organizations for referrals.

What happens after I submit my information?

You may be contacted by phone, email, or text by an independent specialist or partner organization in our network who can explain the options that may be available to you. Consent to be contacted is not a condition of purchasing any product or service, and you can opt out at any time.

Can Disability Aid Pro guarantee that I will be approved for benefits?

No. Nobody other than the government agency that reviews your claim can approve benefits. Completing the questions on this site does not guarantee that you will qualify for any program or that any specific outcome will result.
