A: Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) is a program run by the Social Security Administration (SSA) that provides monetary support to workers with disabilities. To receive SSDI benefits, you must have a work history and must have paid into the Social Security system through your taxes. To qualify as disabled, you must have an injury, illness, or medical condition that is expected to last at least one year or result in death. In addition, your disability must affect your ability to continue working at your current place of employment.
After receiving benefits, your SSDI payments will come monthly. Your medical condition may be assessed periodically for changes. Benefits can be discontinued because of medical improvement, a return to the workforce, or when retirement benefits begin.
What is the difference between Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI)? While SSDI is based on your work history, your payment into the program, and your disability, SSI is based on your income level, your resources, and your disability.
Do you qualify for Social Security Disability benefits, or has your application for SSDI benefits been denied? Talk to a Texas disability benefits attorney to learn more about your case.
