Cancer and SSDI: Do You Qualify for Monthly Disability (SSDI) Payments?
Facing a cancer diagnosis is one of life’s most difficult experiences. For many Latinos with disabilities in the United States, this situation becomes even more challenging due to uncertainty about how to receive financial help while fighting for their health. If you or a loved one has cancer, you may be wondering: Can I qualify for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits or monthly Disability payments?
The short answer is: yes, it’s possible — but it depends on several factors.
What is SSDI?
Disability or SSDI (Social Security Disability Insurance) is a federal government program that provides monthly benefits to people under the age of 65 who have worked and paid Social Security taxes, but who can no longer work due to a serious medical condition.
Does cancer qualify as a disability?
Yes, many types of cancer qualify for monthly Disability (SSDI) payments, especially if:
The Social Security Administration (SSA) has a list of medical conditions considered serious enough to automatically qualify for benefits. Some types of cancer—such as advanced leukemia, small cell lung cancer, or certain pancreatic or liver cancers—may even qualify for the fast-track process called Compassionate Allowances.

What do you need to apply?
What if you’re an immigrant?
If you’re an immigrant with a legal status that allows you to work and pay Social Security taxes, you may be eligible for monthly Disability (SSDI) payments. You are not alone. Many Latinos have gone through this process and received support.
