About this service
SSDI benefits are monthly payments for people who have worked long enough to pay into the Social Security system but can no longer work due to a severe, long-term medical condition. You should look into this if your health prevents you from holding a steady job and your doctor expects your condition to last at least a year or lead to end-of-life care. It is meant to replace a portion of the income you earned before becoming disabled.
