Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) is a federal program that provides monthly payments to people who have worked and paid into Social Security but can no longer work due to a medical condition expected to last at least a year or result in death. You land here to understand how the program works, what the payment amounts look like, and what happens to your benefits if your circumstances change.
