SSDI Benefits For People Who Worked Regularly Before Becoming Disabled

If you have been injured or have been diagnosed with a medical condition and are unable to work, you may qualify for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits. SSDI benefits are generally more than SSI benefits, but have stricter eligibility criteria. The Cochran Firm can review your case for free to help you find out if you meet the eligibility requirements. Here are a few basic guidelines set forth by Social Security to determine who is entitled to SSDI benefits:

•Disability: You cannot do any substantial work due to a medical condition (physical and/or emotional) that is expected to last at least one year or result in death. Click here to learn more about qualifying disabilities.

•Income: You must show that you are financially in need of benefits and your monthly income cannot exceed SSDI eligibility amounts.
