Essentially, they represent your work experience and contributions to the Social Security system through taxes paid to SSA.<\/p>\n

SSDI benefits are designed for individuals who have worked and paid into Social Security but can no longer work due to a disability.

This amount can change annually to reflect wage trends. You can earn up to four credits per year.[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”Questions?
