What is a Social Security disability recipient entitled to?
In South Dakota, a person who has been approved for Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits is entitled to a monthly income to help pay for monthly living expenses such as rent, utilities, food, and medical care. This is in addition to other non-cash benefits such as Medicare or Medicaid coverage. The amount of money a Social Security Disability recipient is eligible for will depend on how much they have worked in the past and their income. The Social Security Administration sets the maximum amount each person can receive. Currently, the maximum amount is $2,861 per month. In addition to monthly payments, Social Security Disability recipients may also be eligible for medical benefits and help paying for work-related expenses. This includes help with the cost of doctor visits, medications, medical equipment, and therapy. Recipients may also be eligible for additional benefits such as Supplemental Security Income (SSI). SSI offers additional income and can help recipients pay for different items such as food, housing, and medical care. Finally, Social Security Disability recipients may be able to receive vocational rehabilitation services to help them become more independent and transition back into the workforce. These services can help them find a job and get job training. Overall, those who are approved for Social Security Disability are entitled to a variety of benefits that can help them live independently and achieve financial stability.
