South Texas Social Security Disability FAQ

SSDI is based on your work history and prior earnings, while SSI is based on financial need regardless of work history. You may qualify for one or both.

Yes. Workers’ comp is a state program and SSD is federal — the benefits don’t conflict, but eligibility rules differ.

You have 60 days from the date you receive your denial letter to file a written appeal.

No. Long-term disability is private insurance through an employer or purchased individually, while SSD is run by the federal government.

You’re not required to have one, but applicants with legal representation are significantly more likely to be approved, especially on appeal.
