Requirements to qualify for SSDI in 2025
To qualify for SSDI in 2025, two main requirements must be met. First, the medical criterion: having a medically certified disability. This condition must last at least 12 months or be terminal.
The disability must prevent “engagement in substantial work activity.” In practical terms, by 2025, this means incomes below $1,620/month. Blind individuals have an upper limit of $2,700/month.
The second requirement is the employment criterion, based on work credits. These demonstrate previous contributions to the Social Security system. By 2025, one credit is equivalent to $1,810 in FICA-taxable income.
A total of 40 credits is required. At least 20 must have been earned within the 10 years prior to the disability. Credit requirements may be reduced for younger applicants.
A comparative summary shows the specific requirements: Health: Medical disability that prevents work + income below Substantial Gainful Activity (SGA). Work: 40 total credits (1 = $1,810), with 20 in the last decade.
Steps to apply for SSDI benefits when you become disabled
The application process requires gathering comprehensive documentation. This includes complete medical records: diagnosis, treatment, and functional limitations. It also includes proof of income, employment history, and personal identification.
The application can be submitted online, by phone, or at an SSA office. This flexibility is intended to facilitate access to the initial process. The SSA initially reviews the applicant’s work credits and income. If these requirements are met, the case is referred to the state Disability Determination Office. The DDS evaluates the disability using uniform federal standards.
The result takes between three and five months on average. In the event of a rejection, there is a four-phased appeals process: reconsideration, a hearing with a judge, review by the Appeals Council, and finally, a federal court hearing.
