Qualifying for Social Security Disability (SSDI) California Disability Advocates

We get paid if we win

If a medical condition keeps you from working, you may qualify for monthly SSDI benefits—but only if you meet Social Security’s strict rules. Here’s what you need to know: 1. Work Credits You must have paid enough FICA taxes. Most workers need 40 credits, with 20 earned in the last 10 years. Younger workers can qualify with fewer credits. 2. Severe Disability Your condition must prevent substantial work (generally earning more than about $1,550/month in 2025, or $2,590 if blind). 3. Long-Term Condition The disability must last at least 12 continuous months or be expected to result in death. 4. SSA-Recognized Impairment If your condition matches or equals an impairment on Social Security’s list—or keeps you from doing any job—you may qualify. Extra Benefits Family Benefits: Spouses and dependent children may also receive monthly payments. Medicare: Most people become eligible after 24 months of SSDI benefits.
