SSDI
SSDI is a federal program that pays monthly benefits to individuals with disabilities who have met all eligibility requirements. This program is a lifeline for many disabled individuals, allowing them to pay their bills despite their inability to work due to a disability. SSDI benefits are funded through contributions to the Social Security trust fund by employers.
Qualifying
To qualify for SSDI, individuals must have worked and paid payroll taxes to Social Security. Additionally, they must meet the SSA’s definition of disability, which includes being unable to work for at least one year due to a severe illness or having a condition that is expected to result in death.
Some beneficiaries might also qualify for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits, which are intended for low-income seniors, disabled individuals, and children who meet specific criteria. It’s important to note that SSI and SSDI serve different purposes, but many people qualify for both. According to SSA regulations, you do not need to submit separate applications for SSI and SSDI, and the maximum SSI payments cannot exceed your total monthly benefits.
