Social Security Administration (SSI and SSDI)

Disability Services

The Social Security Administration administers retirement, survivors, Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits. Applications and account services can be handled online or by phone; in-person help at a local field office requires an appointment. Use the SSA field office locator to find the office serving a St. Tammany ZIP code.

Who it's for

Varies by program. SSDI requires a qualifying work history and a disabling condition; SSI is needs-based for people who are aged, blind or have disabilities.
