What is social security disability?

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic or sign up to my Email Newsletter.

social security disability is a program that was started in 1954 to help americans when they become disabled and can’t work anymore. If you can’t work anymore because of a disability or if you have a condition that is preventing you from working then Social security disability will help with your income. If you hit retirement age when you are on SSDI Then you move to social security for your monthly income.

Here are some Eligibility requirements for SSDI:

If you can’t perform your work that you did before your injury or condition.
If you can’t perform another job because of your medical condition, or injury.
Your disbility has lasted more than a year.
You also must have paid into the system for five of the last 10 years.

I think these programs are essential. If someone is disabled from an injury and and can’t work anymore then these programs will help them to stay off of welfare or PA. People will say there is a job out there for any body and why do I have to pay for them through my taxes. They don’t get these types of services then we would be seeing a lot more homeless people and people dying a lot more.

What do you think about SSDI? Do you think it is worth having a program like this?
