May is recognized as Disability Insurance Awareness Month. Individuals with a long-term disability that prevents them from working and earning an income can be eligible to receive Social Security Disability Insurance.
SSDI is offered through the Social Security Administration and is funded through FICA taxes. People who pay their FICA taxes and experience a disability that prevents them from working for 12 months or longer can receive insurance through the administration. Monthly benefits are provided to disabled workers until they are able to return to work.
Financial director for the nation’s leading Social Security disability representation firm Paul Gada states, “People experiencing a disability that prevents them from working will be placed in a weakened financial situation, so it’s critical they apply for SSDI as soon as possible.”
