Luckily, both state and federal governments have financial protections in place for disabilities that keep you from earning a living wage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) provides financial coverage for those who have worked legally for at least 5 years in the recent past. However, when filing a claim your work history must meet the minimum criteria for SSDI coverage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While SSDI offers financial support for those who meet disability standards, filing an SSDI claim can be a complicated process. That\u2019s why working with skilled attorneys like those at <\/span>Casa de la Justicia<\/span><\/a> is always recommended when filing for SSDI.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What is SSDI?<\/b><\/p>\n

SSDI is one of several programs created by the <\/span>Social Security Administration (SSA)<\/span><\/a> that give financial benefits to injured workers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

SSDI coverage is funded by the payroll taxes that are collected by the United States government. If you have ever looked at deductions on your paystubs or W2s, then you have likely seen money withheld for social security. The idea with social security benefits is that the money will be available for people when it is truly needed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you are under 65 years of age and have become permanently disabled and can no longer work, you should look into the SSDI process.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How is SSDI Different from Workers\u2019 Comp?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

A common mistake is to confuse SSDI coverage with workers compensation insurance. Importantly, while workers\u2019 comp insurance is offered to people from the first day they begin a job, SSDI benefits are only paid to people with a minimum of 5 years working and paying taxes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While workers\u2019 comp insurance covers common injuries where you might miss work for a few days or weeks, SSDI coverage is designed for those with more incapacitating disabilities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Another important distinction between the two types of coverages is related to the nature of the injury. While workers\u2019 comp insurance only covers you if injured on the job, SSDI covers you even if you are injured outside of work or develop a debilitating disease that longer allows you to do your job.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Workers\u2019 compensation is handled at the state level, while SSDI benefits are overseen by the federal government. As such, you can think of the SSDI process as additional security for workers in the United States with serious disabilities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What Medical Conditions & Disabilities Qualify for SSDI?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

In their <\/span>Blue Book<\/span><\/a>, the SSA put together a list of medical conditions and disabilities that qualify for SSDI coverage. While a wide variety of ailments could get you SSDI benefits, some are more likely to be accepted by the SSA than others.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the keys to receiving the SSDI coverage is being able to prove that you have a serious disability. According to the <\/span>Disability Benefits Help website<\/span><\/a>, \u201cphysical disabilities are much more likely to qualify for disability benefits compared to mental disabilities, because physical disabilities are much more easier to prove and backup through medical evidence.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Not only does the Blue Book offer a list of qualifying conditions, but it also discusses what evidence you need to provide to the SSA to receive coverage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
