How SSDI Works
Apply & Document
Submit your application with medical records showing your disability prevents substantial work. An advocate can help gather documentation.
Review Process
Social Security reviews your case (typically 3-6 months). If denied, you can appeal with an advocate's help. Most approvals come after appeal.
Receive Benefits
Once approved, you'll receive monthly payments based on your work history. Backpay covers time since your disability began.
SSDI Eligibility Requirements
Work Credits
You must have worked and paid Social Security taxes for a certain number of years (typically 5 out of the last 10 years before disability). Younger workers may need fewer credits.
Medical Disability
Your condition must be severe enough to prevent you from doing substantial work. It must be expected to last at least 12 months or result in death.
Unable to Work
You cannot earn more than $1,550/month (2024 limit) from substantial gainful activity. Medical evidence must show you can't perform your past work or adjust to other work.
Not Currently Covered by SSDI?
If you haven't worked enough to qualify for SSDI, you may still qualify for SSI (Supplemental Security Income), a needs-based program. Ask an advocate about both programs.
Why Work With a Disability Advocate?
Over 60% of initial SSDI applications are denied. An experienced advocate significantly increases your approval chances.
Expert Application Help
Advocates know exactly what documentation SSA needs and how to present your case for maximum approval chances.
Handle Appeals & Denials
If you're denied, advocates will fight for you through the appeals process, including representing you at hearings.
No Upfront Costs
Pay only if you win. Advocates receive 25% of backpay (capped at $7,200 in 2024), only if your claim is approved.
Faster Processing
Properly documented applications with advocate representation typically move through the system faster than DIY attempts.
