SSDI Payment October: Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) is a government program that provides financial help to people who can’t work due to a medical condition.
Unlike Supplemental Security Income (SSI), SSDI is based on your work history and how much you’ve paid in Social Security taxes. It’s like an insurance plan you’ve been contributing to while working, and if you become disabled, you can receive benefits from it.
The main benefit of SSDI is that it helps cover costs like rent, food, and medical bills with monthly payments. For those unable to work due to a disability, these payments are important. After getting SSDI for two years, you’re also automatically eligible for Medicare, which helps with medical costs. Family members, like children and spouses, may also qualify for benefits, providing financial support during tough times.
