Social Security Professional Spotlight: Disability 101

Join Social Security Public Affairs Specialists Theresa Busher and Kelly Draggoo for in-depth look at Social Security Disability benefits – including SSI and SSDI.  Statistics show that 1 in 4 of today’s 20 year olds will become disabled before reaching retirement age, and 1 in 10 of us will have a severe disability in our lifetime.  With that in mind, you need to know about Social Security Disability programs for your personal as well as professional life. This session will discuss:

1. How and when to file for SSI and SSDI benefits:
2. Eligibility Criteria, including for children and those turning age 18;
3. Social Security’s process of determining disability;
4. Benefit amounts;
5. What happens to SSDI at retirement age;
6. And more!
