SSDI provides monthly income replacement to workers who become disabled and can no longer engage in substantial gainful activity due to a medically determinable impairment. Benefit amounts are based on lifetime earnings and Social Security contributions. Applicants must have sufficient work credits and a qualifying disability expected to last at least 12 months or result in death.
Answer each question — we'll show you exactly what applies to your situation.

Do you have a documented disability?
Do you have enough Social Security work credits?
Do you not be performing substantial gainful activity at time of application?
Are you (or your child) enrolled in a participating program or school?
