What are the eligibility requirements to apply for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI)?

In addition to having a medically determinable impairment that keeps you from engaging in substantial gainful activity for a minimum of 12 months or result in death, you must have also worked long enough paying Social Security taxes. Paying taxes allows you to build “work credits”. Depending on your age, you must have a certain amount of work credits in order to be eligible for SSDI.
