Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) is a taxpayer-funded government program available to people who can no longer work—or who are unable to work for 12 months or more—due to a severe injury or medical condition. Administered by the Social Security Administration (SSA), SSDI provides monthly benefit payments to qualifying individuals.
If you suffered a serious injury or were diagnosed with a disabling condition, you may be eligible for benefits through this program. However, in addition to being lengthy and complex, the application process for SSDI can be challenging—and the vast majority of claims are initially denied. Fortunately, hiring an experienced attorney who knows disability law inside and out can increase your chances for approval or assist you in appealing a denied claim.
