Social Security Disability Benefits Assistance Network
Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) is a program that provides financial assistance to people who are unable to work due to a disability. SSDI benefits are funded by payroll taxes and are intended to replace a portion of your lost wages if you are unable to work due to your disability.
To be eligible for SSDI, you must have a qualifying disability that is expected to last for at least one year or result in death. You must also have a sufficient work history, meaning that you have paid into the Social Security system through your employment or self-employment taxes. The amount of SSDI benefits you receive is based on your average lifetime earnings, and the SSA uses a formula to calculate your benefit amount.
If you are approved for SSDI, you will receive your benefits until you are able to return to work or until your disability is determined to no longer be severe enough to qualify for benefits. In addition to monthly cash benefits, SSDI may also make you eligible for Medicare, which is a federal health insurance program for people with disabilities and certain other conditions.
To apply for SSDI, you will need to complete an application and provide medical evidence of your disability. The SSA will review your application and any medical evidence you have provided, and they may also request additional information or medical records if needed. The process of applying for SSDI and getting a decision can take several months, or even longer in some cases. If your application is denied, you have the right to appeal the decision and request a disability hearing.
