Social Security Disability (SSDI) benefits can provide regular financial assistance to individuals who are unable to work due to physical or mental disabilities. SSDI benefits are primarily funded by payroll taxes, and are overseen by the Social Security Administration (SSA). The benefits you receive may be temporary or permanent depending on your disability.
However, there are conditions that you must meet to receive SSDI benefits.
- You must have been actively working for five of the past ten years
- Your disability must be projected to last at least 12 months
- The evaluating doctor must be credible. Evidence of "doctor shopping" can lead to a rejection of your claim
