Arkansas Social Security Disability Insurance Attorney
SSDI - What is it and who is entitled to it?
The Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) program is a federal program that provides help to people with disabilities. Only individuals who can prove that they have a disability and meet medical criteria may qualify for benefits under the program.
The Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) program pays benefits to disabled individuals and certain members of their family if the individual suffers a disability while "insured," meaning that he or she worked for a certain period and paid Social Security taxes. An individual who becomes mentally or physically disabled before reaching retirement age may be entitled to receive SSDI benefits.
In order to be disabled for SSDI purposes one must be unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity (SGA) by reason of a medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or which has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months.
