Richardson, Texas is a suburban city in the Dallas area which had a population in 2011 of 107,684. Telecommunications in the biggest industry in the city, though banking and finances as well as education and retail manufacturing also play a substantial role in the local economy.
Richardson is among the communities served by the Region 6 district office of the Social Security Administration (SSA) in Dallas. The Dallas office distributes Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) to nearly 632,000 individuals and is responsible for processing almost 64,000 new claims annually.
SSDI is issued to those who are unable to work due to extended or complete disability. To qualify for SSDI, you must meet the SSA’s disability requirements.

If you don’t meet work credit requirements, you may still be eligible to receive SSI.
