Texas Disability SSI
Assistance For TX SSI and SSDI Disability Benefits
What Is Texas Disability?
The Social Security Administration funds the Texas Division for Disability Determination Services (DDS) at http://www.dars.state.tx.us/services/dds.shtml is an organization that reviews your claim for disability and assesses your eligibility for Texas disability benefits. The DDS will determine one’s eligibility for Supplemental Security Income and Social Security Disability Insurance. Both Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) are offered by the Social Security Administration: these two programs have different eligibility requirements. You may find that you qualify for one program or both.
If you are seeking Texas disability benefits in the form of SSDI, you will have to be under the age of sixty-five. You will also be faced with a waiting period of five months; you will be able to get SSDI benefits during the sixth month of your disability. You will have to be completely disabled to qualify for this program since the Social Security Administration’s programs are not for people with partial disabilities.

If you meet all qualifications for the SSDI program, your spouse, if over the age of 62 or of any age who is caring for and raising a disabled child under the age of sixteen, and your unwed children who are eighteen or under or who are full time students under the age of nineteen may also qualify for benefits.
If you are applying for SSDI, your disability does not have to be considered a permanent condition, but it does have to be considered a long-term health issue expected to last longer than a twelve-month period. You can file for benefits online via the Social Security Administration or you can call (800) 772-1213 to apply. If you want to know about the status of your claim review, you will need to get in touch with DDS at (512) 437-8000 or you can contact their office via a toll free phone number as well at (800) 252-7009.
