The Social Security Administration (SSA) provides disability benefits through two programs: Social Security Disability Income (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI). To qualify, your heart disease must be listed in the SSA's Blue Book under Cardiovascular System conditions, which includes chronic heart failure, ischemic heart disease, arrhythmias, and other heart conditions. To be approved, you'll need medical documentation showing your heart condition prevents you from working full-time. There are specific asset limits - individuals can't have more than $2,000 in assets, while couples are limited to $3,000 to maintain eligibility. The amount you receive depends on your work history, income level, and whether you qualify for additional benefits.
