Q. Can I draw Social Security if I have never worked full time?

A. Yes. If you are unable to work at any job for a period of twelve (12) months or more AND have financial need, you may be eligible for Supplemental Security Income (SSI). SSI is a special program of the Social Security Administration that provides benefits to individuals who have not worked on a full time basis. Even if you have worked in the past, you might be eligible for SSI. You should consult a qualified lawyer to understand the types of Social Security programs for which you may be eligible.
