Ssdi And Ssi Eligibility

Summary

To qualify for SSDI in California, you need a disability preventing work, lasting at least a year, and sufficient work credits. If lacking work credits, consider SSI, which doesnt require them but has income/resource limits. Age 55 doesnt disqualify you; it may support your claim. Apply for SSI online via the SSA website, create an account, and submit necessary documents.
