Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits are available to individuals who can prove that a medical condition prevents them from working and is expected to last at least one year or result in death. To qualify for SSDI, you must have worked and paid into the Social Security system for a sufficient period of time.
SSDI benefits can also extend to the spouses and children of disabled workers, providing crucial financial support for the entire family.
However, many applicants face challenges because the Social Security Administration (SSA) applies strict criteria to determine eligibility. Benefits are only awarded to those with severe medical conditions that limit basic work activities—such as walking, sitting, or remembering. At Santelises Law, we are committed to advocating for you and ensuring your rights are protected throughout the application and appeals process.
We believe in your right to the benefits you've earned, and we will fight tirelessly to help you get the support you and your loved ones need for a better future!
