Social Security Benefits Exist for a Variety of Areas
Social Security benefits provide a welcome safety net for many people, from injured workers and their families to retired workers to Veterans. These social programs provide far-reaching assistance for many people and are extremely important for those who rely upon them on a daily basis. Some of the benefits available include the following:
Medicare
Medicare is a healthcare program for eligible people who reach the age of 65, and is also available to parties who have received Social Security disability benefits for two or more years.
Social Security Disability Insurance
The Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) program pays benefits to workers who become unable to work due to a physical or mental disability. In certain cases, family members of the worker can also qualify provided the worker has earned enough credits by paying Social Security taxes at work.
Supplemental Security Income program
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits disabled adults, children, and people age 65 and older without disabilities who have limited income and resources.
Social Security Retirement Benefits
The Social Security retirement program provides retirement benefits to those who are 62 and older and are eligible.
Social Security Survivor’s Benefits
Social Security survivor’s benefits can be paid to certain widows or widowers, including those who are disabled or who take care of a disabled child of the deceased, as well as to unmarried children, stepchildren, grandchildren, adopted children, and dependent parents.
Special Veterans Benefits
Special Veterans benefits may be paid to certain veterans of World War II who reside outside the United States.
