About this service
SSDI benefits provide a monthly income for workers who have become disabled and can no longer perform their job duties. To qualify, you must meet strict medical criteria and have a sufficient work history under Social Security. People usually apply for these benefits when a doctor confirms their health issues will keep them out of the workforce for at least twelve months. It is a federal program designed to provide support for those who paid into the system and now need help.
