Social security ssdi benefits — New York, NY
Last updated: September 24, 2026
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.
