<h3>Disability Determination Services</h3>
<p>The Social Security Disability program provides benefits to persons with severe disabilities whose impairments prevent them from performing gainful work. In each of the six states within the Chicago Region, claims for the federal disability program are administered through the State. These State Disability Determination Services (DDS) agencies are 100% federally funded and make their decisions according to SSA rules and regulations.</p>
<h2>Illinois</h2>
<p>Persons wishing to obtain information on behalf of a claimant must submit the inquiry in writing along with a release form signed by the claimant. (Exception is made for US Senators and Representatives.) </p>
<p>Disability determination is the only Social Security program handled by a state government office. Inquiries concerning other aspects of Social Security programs should be directed to SSA field offices. </p>
<p>For more information on these programs and other services for persons with disabilities, visit the <a href="http://www.dhs.state.il.us/page.aspx?item=29979">Disability Determination Services</a> website</p>
<p>Bureau staff members are available to provide presentations on the disability determination process to interested groups. Requests for additional information may be directed to: </p>

<h2>Indiana </h2>
<p>In Indiana, disability determinations are made by the <a href="https://www.in.gov/fssa/2634.htm">Disability Determination Bureau (DDB)</a>. </p>
<h2>Michigan </h2>
<p>The Michigan Disability Determination Service adjudicates Social Security Disability and Social Supplemental Income claims for Michigan citizens. Our parent agency in Michigan is the <a href="https://www.michigan.gov/mdhhs">Department of Health and Human Services.</a></p>
<p>The Michigan Disability Determination Service is a decentralized agency with offices in four locations:</p>
