Social Security Disability Insurance
Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) is a government program in the United States that provides financial assistance to individuals who are unable to work due to a qualifying disability. Funded through payroll taxes, SSDI offers monthly benefits to those who have a work history and have paid into the Social Security system. To qualify, applicants must demonstrate that their disability significantly impairs their ability to perform basic work activities. SSDI aims to support individuals and their families during times of severe health challenges, helping to cover essential living costs while they are unable to earn an income.
