Individuals who are unable to work due to a disabling medical condition are eligible for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI). If you or a loved one requires Social Security Disability Benefits, it is critical that you understand the qualifying requirements before applying.
To qualify for SSDI benefits, you must have a medically determinable condition that prevents you from working and is expected to last at least 12 months or result in death. Another key eligibility requirement is having worked long enough—and recently enough—in jobs covered by Social Security, where FICA taxes were paid.
Both the medical and work history criteria must be met. For a more in-depth overview of the SSDI application process and eligibility guidelines, explore our comprehensive SSDI Benefits Resources. You can also use our SSDI Benefits Calculator to estimate potential monthly payments if approved.
