B.R. v. Social Security Administration

Case Number: 3:23-cv-00316

Judge: Michael P. Shea

Court: United States District Court for the District of Connecticut (New Haven County)

Plaintiff's Attorney: Lewis Insler

Defendant's Attorney: John Molinaro and Molly E. Cater

Description: New Haven, Connecticut social security disability law lawyer represented Plaintiff seeking review of the denial of his application for Social Security: SSID Tit. XVI benefits by HHS.

"There is no such thing as SSID benefits in Social Security. Perhaps you meant SSDI or SSI benefits?

SSDI stands for Social Security Disability Insurance. It is a program that provides monthly benefits to people who are unable to work due to a disability. To qualify for SSDI, you must have worked long enough and paid Social Security taxes.
SSI stands for Supplemental Security Income. It is a program that provides monthly benefits to people with low income and resources who are also disabled. To qualify for SSI, you must meet certain income and resource limits.

Both SSDI and SSI benefits can help pay for basic living expenses, such as food, housing, and clothing. They can also help pay for medical expenses, transportation, and other necessities.

If you think you may be eligible for SSDI or SSI benefits, you should contact the Social Security Administration to apply.

Here are some additional details about the two programs:

SSDI benefits are based on your earnings history. The amount of benefits you receive will depend on how much you have paid in Social Security taxes.
SSI benefits are not based on your earnings history. The amount of benefits you receive will depend on your income and resources.

Both SSDI and SSI benefits can be paid for a lifetime. However, SSDI benefits may end if you become able to work again. SSI benefits may end if your income or resources increase above certain limits.

If you have any questions about SSDI or SSI benefits, you should contact the Social Security Administration. They can help you determine if you are eligible for benefits and how to apply."
