What is SSDI?

SSDI is a federal insurance program that provides monthly benefits to individuals who have a qualifying disability and have paid enough into the Social Security system through their work history.

Eligibility for SSDI:

To qualify for SSDI, you must meet the following requirements:

  • Have a qualifying disability: Your medical condition must meet the Social Security Administration's definition of disability, meaning it must prevent you from engaging in substantial gainful activity (SGA).

  • Have sufficient work credits: You must have earned enough work credits through your employment history. The number of work credits required varies depending on your age.

  • Meet the non-medical requirements: You must also meet certain non-medical requirements, such as being a U.S. citizen or lawful resident.
