Social Security in Indiana offers two critical disability programs, Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI). SSDI provides monetary benefits to individuals who have worked and contributed to Social Security but currently are unable to engage in gainful employment due to a disabling condition. Benefit amounts are based upon past work earnings. SSI, conversely, helps individuals with disabilities or blindness who have limited income and few resources. It provides monthly payments to adults and children, and if you’re 65 or older, you might be eligible for SSI without a disabling condition, provided you meet the income and resource restrictions. The same medical condition criteria apply to both SSDI and SSI eligibility.

To apply for SSDI, individuals can use the online application provided you satisfy certain requirements. For SSI, a simplified online application process, including a streamlined version of the initial SSI application, is available. In situations where the applicant cannot apply online for SSDI or SSI, they can call 1-800-772-1213, Monday through Friday, between 8:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m., and make an appointment to complete the application.
