In the event that a disability is keeping you from your job, you may be able to apply for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits.
While this sounds like an easy process, it’s anything but that. Most people soon find that applying for Social Security Disability Insurance is full of many twists and turns, some of which can be difficult to overcome.
Here are some of the criteria you must meet if you want to qualify for Social Security Disability Insurance benefits:
- You must be able to prove that you are suffering from a qualifying mental or physical health disability
- Your disability must be expected to result in death, last for 12 months, or have already lasted 12 months
- You must have paid enough into the system through work credits
