Social Security Disability Insurance
Life after a severe injury or medical diagnosis can be difficult, but filing for disability benefits shouldn’t be.
When discussing disability benefits, many people mean SSDI. The Social Security Administration manages SSDI. It’s based on “work credits,” which are the total earnings you and your employers have contributed to Social Security. SSDI lets those with certain work backgrounds, who are now disabled, access their retirement funds earlier because of their disability.

Upcoming Review?
Continuing Disability Review
The SSA is required by law to periodically review every disability benefits case. At Sage Disability, we help you with every stage of the disability process, including a Continuing Disability Review. We will review your updated medical records, help you prepare for a consultative exam, and communicate with the SSA about your CDR report.
Ticket to Work Program
Your Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) includes Ticket to Work, a program that supports going back to work. You can keep your SSDI benefits protected and be employed at the same time. Our experts are here to help make your transition easier. We will work with you to file all return-to-work forms with SSA to keep you in good standing with the Ticket to Work program and keep your SSDI benefits.
Medicare Coordination
Through our Medicare Advantage Program, a Medicare agent or broker can help you streamline your options. They will speak with you and gain a solid understanding of your finances and health needs and then offer you plans that fit within those established parameters. We’ll help you make decisions about your coverage and help you enroll in a plan.
Supplemental Security Income
We’re here to help you navigate Social Security benefits. Let’s get you approved and get the financial support you need without the headache.
The Social Security Administration also manages SSI, but it’s based on income, not work credits like SSDI. To qualify for SSI, the SSA must determine that you’re disabled, and you must also fit specific income criteria. We always apply for both SSI and SSDI together. By doing this, there’s no waiting period if you lack the necessary work credits for SSDI.
Do I Qualify?
Adults and children might be eligible for SSI if they have:
- Little or no income, and
- Little or no resources, and
- A disability, blindness, or are age 65 or older.
SSI is generally for individuals who don’t earn more than $1,971 from work each month. The income limit increases for couples and when parents apply for children. We also look at other sources of income besides your job, like disability benefits, unemployment, and pensions.
If you’re age 64 or younger, you must have a disability that:
- Affects your ability to work for a year or more, or
- Will result in death, or
- Severely limits daily activity (for children with disabilities).
If you have a disability, you’ll also need to prove you’ve earned less than $1,550 from work per month in the month you’re applying. Citizens ages 65 or older don’t need to have a disability to get SSI.
