Social Security and Disability Benefits

Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) programs provide assistance to people who meet their requirements for disability. The SSDI program pays benefits to you and certain family members if you are “insured.” This means that you worked long enough – and recently enough – and paid Social Security taxes on your earnings. The SSI program pays benefits to adults and children who meet their requirements for a qualifying disability and have limited income and resources.

ACLU Voter Status Restoration

In Tennessee, individuals convicted of a felony lose their right to vote. However, in some cases, people with felony convictions can have their right to vote restored.
ACLU’s goal is to provide an analysis for people who want to find out whether or not they are eligible to restore their right to vote, to provide them with the appropriate resources for their particular situation, and if applicable, to help them with the process for restoring their voting rights.
