Have you been disabled or hurt? Are you unable to return to work? If so, you may be eligible for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits. The government offers assistance to people who have a physical or mental impairment expected to last at least 12 months or result in death.

The government has a strict definition of disability. Social Security does not give money to people with partial or short-term disability. You generally are eligible for disability benefits if you meet certain earnings requirements. You must have worked for a certain amount of time based on your age at the time you became disabled and you must have worked long enough under Social Security.

Factors used to consider SSDI eligibility

In general, the government will base eligibility on the following factors:

• Medical condition
• Age
• Extent of physical or mental limitations
• Vocational training and work experience
