SSDI Social Security Disability Income Monthly benefits paid to individuals with either severe impairments that will prevent one from doing "substantial" work for a year or more, or a condition that is expected to result in death per Social Security Administration. Recipients must have paid enough Social Security taxes while they were working to receive a benefit.
