Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) - A system of federally provided payments to eligible workers (and, in some cased, their families) when they are unable to continue working because of a disability. Benefits begin with the sixth full month of disability and continue until the individual is capable of substantial gainful activity. (See reimbursement agreement for SSDI)
In this context, a monthly check provided to children or parents who have retired or become disabled and have paid into Social Security. Only paid to individuals whose income falls below SGA after accounting for work incentives.
SSDI is authorized under Title II of the Social Security Act. SSDI provides benefits to disabled or blind individuals who are "insured" by workers' contributions to the social security trust fund. These contributions are the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) social security tax paid on their earnings or those of their spouses or parents.
Social Security Disability Insurance is based on an individual's inability to work. If a person cannot perform work he or she previously was able to and cannot adjust to other work because of the acquired medical condition(s), he or she may be eligible for Social Security Disability Insurance. The official site of the United States Social Security Administration (www.ssa.gov) suggests, “Disability is something most people do not like to think about. But the chances that you will become disabled probably are greater than you realize. Studies show that a 20-year-old worker has a 3 in 10 chance of becoming disabled before reaching retirement age.
(SSDI) - This program is administered by the Social Security Administration. It serves the needs of 7.5 million beneficiaries and is funded by payroll tax contributions. Any change in the formula used to calculate social security benefits will affect the level of benefits provided to these beneficiaries.
SSDI is a program financed with Social Security taxes and paid by workers, employers, and self-employed persons. Disability benefits are payable to disabled workers, disabled widow(er)'s or adults disabled since childhood who are otherwise eligible. Auxiliary benefits may be payable to a worker's dependents as well. The monthly disability benefit payment is based on the Social Security earnings record of the insured worker on whose Social Security number the disability claim is filed.

A monthly check provided to children of parents who have retired or become disabled and have paid into Social Security or for young people over age 18 if they have a disabling impairment that began before age 22 (commonly referred to as a "disabled adult child" [DCA]). Young people may also earn SSDI benefits through their own work history.
This money has been paid into the Social Security system through payroll deductions on earnings. Workers with disabilities are entitled to these benefits.
