Alphabet Soup – Understanding Social Security for People with Disabilities

Applying for and receiving Social Security benefits can be extremely challenging for most people. This is especially true for someone with a developmental disability. In this workshop, Social Security benefits consultant Richard Friedkin will explain the differences between the SSI (Supplemental Security Income) and SSDI (Social Security Disability Insurance) programs, as well as how to qualify for benefits, the application, interview and appeals process, and how to continue qualifying for benefits while working.
