What is the Social Security Disability Insurance [SSDI]?
The Social Security Administration (SSA) is the government agency that has among other tasks is responsible for management of Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and related laws and benefits defined by law. SSDI is a federal insurance program intended to provide benefits payable each month to individuals who are no longer able to work as a result of a disability. Applicable rules and conditions have to be met before SSDI benefits are determined.
Your eligibility for any SSDI benefits depends on whether you have been employed and paid Social Security taxes, and duration of the years and periods you have worked and are now disabled due to a qualified illness or injury. Once you file a claim with SSA for your SSDI benefits, you will have a chance provide any evidence and prove your claim to SSA (based on applicable SSA regulations) . You have to prove you cannot do your former job or any other type of work (in the National Economy) because you are disabled. It can be a bit complex, because you might be able to still work on a part time basis in some cases, but SSA sets limits on scope of your work if you are collecting SSDI benefits. Additionally, your disability must be expected to last for at least a period of one year (12 months).
To calculate your SSDI benefit amount, the SSA uses a formula based on your average lifetime earnings and the total number of years you have worked. If you have a family, you could receive additional benefits of up to 50% of your own monthly benefit amount.
