The Virginia Disability Determination Services (DDS) is a division within the Department for Aging and Rehabilitative Services (DARS) that collaborates with the Social Security Administration and the Virginia Department of Social Services to evaluate disability claims for various benefit programs, including Social Security Disability Insurance, Supplemental Security Income, and Medicaid. Committed to adhering to federal regulations, DDS strives to make accurate and timely decisions based on medical and psychological evidence, while also considering school information and vocational criteria when applicable. Through the DDS, individuals can apply for benefits such as Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), which requires a substantial work history under Social Security, Supplemental Security Income (SSI), a need-based program that does not require prior work under Social Security, and Medicaid, a joint Federal-State health insurance program for low-income and needy individuals. The DDS also works in collaboration with the Social Security Administration's Office of the Inspector General to prevent fraud in the disability program and participates in initiatives like SSI/SSDI Outreach, Access, and Recovery (SOAR) to increase access to disability income benefits for those at risk of homelessness and with mental illness or medical impairments.Generated from the website
