Welcome! I'm here to help you understand whether you might be eligible for SSI (Supplemental Security Income) or SSDI (Social Security Disability Insurance).
Tell me about your situation — your age, whether you're able to work, your living situation and finances. I'll ask follow-up questions to understand your circumstances better.
Important: This is a screening tool, not an official determination. Only the Social Security Administration can determine your eligibility.
