About this service

SSDI stands for Social Security Disability Insurance, a federal program that pays benefits to you and certain family members if you are 'insured' through your work history. You need this if you have a medical condition that prevents you from working for at least a year. The process involves proving your disability through medical evidence. It is a vital safety net for those who have paid into the system and can no longer earn a living.
