The condition(s) must last or be expected to last for at least 12 months. To be considered disabled, a person must establish that he / she cannot perform his / her past work and must establish an inability to perform other types of employment. The Social Security system provides benefits for the disabled under two separate but related programs: Social Security Disability Insurance (DIB) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Social Security Disability benefits (also called Disability Insurance Benefits or DIB) are for workers covered by the Social Security laws who have contributed quarters of coverage and have worked recently enough to be insured for disability benefits. The amount of the Social Security Disability benefits depends upon the person's contributions to the Social Security program. SSI benefits may be available for disabled persons who are financially needy. The benefits may be reduced where there are other sources of income to the disabled person. Additionally, a claimant must be resource eligible. This usually means that the applicant has less than $2,000.00 ($3,000.00 if married) in resources (e.g., savings, cash, assets that can be turned into cash, etc.).
