Can I receive disability benefits if I am already receiving Social Security Income?

Yes, you can receive disability benefits if you are already receiving Social Security Income in Nevada. Depending on the state agency you are filing with, the Social Security Administration (SSA) and/or the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) may be involved in your disability planning. The SSA provides Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) to people who are disabled. These benefits are based on the severity of the disability and the applicant’s financial situation. If you are eligible to receive SSDI, it is imperative that you apply for it, even if you are already receiving SSI. The DHHS provides medical and non-medical services to individuals with disabilities, including assistance with medical care and housing. Assistance with employment and support services are also available. It is important to note that the qualifications for receiving benefits under these programs are determined on a case-by-case basis. Therefore, the best thing to do is to contact your local Social Security office or the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services to determine if you are eligible for any of these programs.
