Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) Explained
Social Security Disability Insurance is a federal program you've likely been paying into your entire working life. If a medical condition prevents you from working full-time, you may be entitled to monthly benefit payments — funded by those very contributions.
Yet millions of eligible Americans never apply, often because the process feels overwhelming or they simply don't know they qualify. A disability specialist can review your situation at no charge and guide you through every step.
Monthly Cash Benefits
Approved applicants can receive over $3,000/month in SSDI payments.
Medicare Coverage
SSDI recipients typically become eligible for Medicare health coverage.
Family Benefits
Your spouse and dependent children may also qualify for payments.
No Cost to Apply
Checking your eligibility is completely free with no obligation.
Who Typically Qualifies for SSDI?
- You are 50 years of age or older
- You have a medical condition that prevents you from working full-time
- You have been seen by a doctor or received treatment for your condition
- You have worked and paid into Social Security for at least 5 of the last 10 years
- You are not currently receiving SSDI or SSI benefits
The SSA considers hundreds of qualifying conditions — from cardiovascular disease and cancer to musculoskeletal disorders, neurological conditions, mental health diagnoses, and many more. Age plays a critical role in determining eligibility, and applicants 50 and older are evaluated under more favorable guidelines.
