What is Social Security Disability Insurance?
Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) is a federal program that provides financial assistance to people who can not work due to long-term disability. SSDI is funded by payroll taxes and offers monthly benefits to disabled workers and their families. The program funds "insured" individuals who can not return to work. In order to be considered insured, you must have a significant employment history over a long enough period of time.
Who Is Eligible For SSDI?
To qualify for Social Security Disability Insurance Benefits, you must meet several criteria:
- Work History: You must have significant work history and paid Social Security taxes during your employment. The length of employment is dependent on your age, but typically, individuals need to have worked at least five of the last ten years before becoming disabled.
- Disability: You have a disability that meets the Social Security Administrations definition of disability.
