Social Security Disability Insurance Benefits

Social Security Disability benefits, which are often referred to as SSD, are financial payments made to eligible individuals who can no longer work as determined by the standards of the Social Security Administration. SSD is for individuals who have a work history and have paid in to the Social Security system through their witholding taxes. In order to be eligible for SSD, you must have worked a certain period of time (usually 5 of the last 10 years) prior to when you became disabled. However, if you are 31 years old or younger when you became disabled, you are not required to have worked as long. Your monthly disability benefits are directly related to your overall earnings and will increase as you pay more Social Security taxes.
