Those 65 and older without disabilities who meet the financial requirements can also get SSI payments. SSI is means-tested which means you must possess and earn fewer financial resources than the program's threshold to qualify. If your income or financial resources exceed one or both thresholds, you become ineligible for SSI benefits. This can be a concern for our accident clients who receive SSI. If you receive a settlement or verdict for your accident injuries, your compensation is an asset that can count for SSI qualifications. There are special procedures to preserve those resources to avoid disqualifying your SSI benefits. If you receive SSI or have applied for SSI when you are in an accident, you should talk to a Denver personal injury attorney before accepting any settlement on your case. People with disabilities may be eligible for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits instead of or in addition to SSI benefits. Qualification for SSDI is different from SSI and not means-tested. If you believe you may qualify for either SSI or SSDI you should talk to a disability attorney about your rights to benefits before applying to SSA. If a recent workplace accident resulted in a disabling injury that may qualify for SSDI, you may have a workers' compensation claim to pursue in addition to SSDI. You should talk to a workers' compensation attorney about your potential workplace injury claim.
