I have been following this thread about Social Security, growing more confused by each topic about what the different letters stand for and mean - I was going to put up a thread asking what they stand for and mean, when lo and behold I clicked on yours and there were the answers!
However, I still have a few questions:
Which one - SSDI or SSSI - is the one that people apply for and usually get rejected the first time, have to appeal, etc.?
Also, with SSDI, the person would have to *wait* until they were disabled for 12 months before applying for it?
Also, you said that SSSI is for financial need when you're sick. It means you're making less than $740 a month. So, you can be employed and still apply for SSSI??
And which one are YOU applying for (I am guessing it's the SSSI)??
Thanks as always!
