Social Security Disability Benefits – Common Questions Answered

What is SSDI?

Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) is a federal program that provides monthly benefits to people who can no longer work due to a medical condition expected to last at least one year or result in death. These benefits are based on your work history and the Social Security taxes you’ve paid.

How do I know if I qualify?

You may be eligible for SSDI if:

  • You have a medical condition that meets Social Security’s definition of disability.
  • You have worked and paid Social Security taxes long enough to earn sufficient “work credits.”
  • You are unable to perform your previous work or adjust to other work because of your condition.

Every case is unique — our team can help you review your eligibility before applying.

How much could I receive in benefits?

Your benefit amount is based on your average lifetime earnings covered by Social Security

  • Maximum SSDI benefit in 2025: $4,018 per month.
  • Most people receive between $1,500 and $3,000 per month, depending on their work history.

How long does it take to get approved?

  • The initial application review can take 3–6 months on average.
  • If denied, appeals can add several months (or longer) to the process.
  • Having professional guidance may help avoid common delays and errors.

Why are so many applications denied?

Over 60% of initial SSDI applications are denied — often due to incomplete medical evidence, paperwork errors, or not meeting the technical work requirements.

We help you:

  • Gather the right medical documentation
  • Complete forms accurately
  • Meet deadlines to protect your claim

Can I work while receiving SSDI?

Yes — but there are strict income limits.

  • In 2025, you generally cannot earn more than $1,550 per month from work ($2,590 if blind).
  • Earning over this limit may cause your benefits to stop.

What’s the difference between SSDI and SSI?

  • SSDI: Based on work history and Social Security contributions.
  • SSI: Based on financial need, not work history.

We focus on helping with SSDI applications and appeals.
