This document provides an overview of Social Security disability benefits and the process for applying. It discusses the two main programs: Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI). SSDI is for those who have worked enough to be insured, while SSI has additional income and asset limits. Both use the same definition of disability, determined through a 5-step evaluation process assessing medical eligibility and ability to work. The document outlines the steps and eligibility requirements, including listings for specific cancers. It concludes with information on how to apply for benefits.
To qualify for Social Security disability benefits, one must have a medical condition that prevents working for at least a year and have earned enough work credits in their lifetime, including a certain number within the last 10 years prior to becoming disabled. The Social Security Administration uses a five-step process to determine if a person's medical condition constitutes a disability under their standards, considering if the person can adjust to other work and if the condition will last over a year or result in death. There are also special situations where dependents of workers may qualify for disability benefits.

Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) provides vital support for millions of people with disabilities in the United States. SSDI benefits give access to healthcare and supports that lift many out of poverty. While SSDI beneficiaries have diverse disabilities and backgrounds, research shows most will likely never have the capacity for significant, ongoing work. Proposed reforms aim to help those able to work do so, but should not weaken the program or make benefits discretionary. SSDI is functioning as intended as a critical lifeline for many Americans with disabilities.
No matter how old you are, if you find yourself unable to work due to certain medical disability, you may be eligible to apply for the Social Security Administration claim.

- Important (but maybe lesser-known) facts about Social Security that all Americans should know.

- Comparing original Medicare, Medicare Supplement, and Medicare Advantage - and which one is right for you?
