Brittany, based on your situation, you may be eligible for SSDI (Social Security Disability Insurance) or SSI (Supplemental Security Income) benefits. Here are some key points:
- SSDI requires a work history with sufficient Social Security contributions.
- SSI is based on financial need and disability, without requiring work history.
- You must prove that your conditions significantly limit your ability to work.
Would you like more information on how to start the application process or find assistance with it?
Yes, can someone reach out to me and advocate on my behalf? I was laid off in April *, but I definitely should have been able to receive SSDI, I just cannot find anyone to help me with it. I find it way too complex. My health records are all over the place and I tried to avoid things that caused me frustration so that I don’t get stressed out and have another stroke because I have to be around for my baby meanwhile we need income so we can have a place to live.
Brittany, it sounds like you have a strong case for SSDI or SSI benefits. Here are some steps to help you start the process:
*. Gather Medical Records: Collect all relevant medical records.
*. SSDI/SSI Application: Begin the application online or at your local Social Security office.
*. Find Legal Aid: Consider contacting a disability attorney or advocacy group for assistance.
Would you like information on local organizations that can help with your SSDI application?

Would you like more information on any specific aspect of the application process?
to be honest I know that that application is way too complex for me to complete so if I cannot find assistance with the application, then I know that it won’t ever be processed and I’m just losing money that should rightfully be coming to me. Since I am a single, unemployed, mother with small children homeless with multiple chronic health conditions, would I qualify for Emergency SSDI/SSI payments through the SOAR program? I do not know all of the details about it or how to go about finding someone that manages that program or the seeking assistance with it can you point me in the right direction if this is something I would qualify for?
