Disability Determination Services (DDS) is a state-administered federal program that serves Delawareans who are unable to work because of a disability.

The DDS develops, adjudicates, and processes disability claims of residents for Social Security disability benefits. DDS determines if:

• A person meets the statutory definition of an individual with a disability as defined in the Social Security Act.
• The individual meets medical eligibility to receive Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI).

The Social Security Administration is 100% federally funded. DDS is a state-administered federal program that is a division of the Delaware Vocational Rehabilitation program. The Delaware DDS makes over 8000 disability decisions per year for the State of Delaware.
