Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) provides cash benefits to eligible disabled persons who have previously paid sufficient amounts of social security taxes and possibly their families. To be eligible for these benefits, there are specific requirements that must be fulfilled and information that is needed. This video provides an overview on SSDI, eligibility requirements, and how to apply.

Applications for SSDI benefits can be made online on the Social Security Administration’s website, or by calling 1-800-772-1213 to set up an appointment with a Social Security representative.
