SSDI stands for Social Security Disability Insurance
A system of federally provided payments to eligible workers (and, in some cases, 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.
As defined by the World Health Organisation (WHO), a disability (resulting from an impairment) is a restriction or lack of ability to perform an activity in the manner or within the range considered normal for a human being. Disability refers to the temporary or long-term reduction of a person's capacity to function.
Any disabled person in New Mexico unable to perform functions he or she has performed prior to a personal injury or an accident is liable to collect disability compensation. Disability compensation benefits are payments from public or private funds to a disabled person who cannot work, such as social security or workers’ compensation benefits.

Living with a disability in New Mexico is tough. Doing simple tasks like getting out of bed, or taking your children to school can be painful and take extra amounts of time to do. But when an employer or the government fails to take the necessary steps of following the Americans with Disabilities Act, you might not be able to take care of your business. That's where a New Mexico disability lawyer can help.
In 1990, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was passed to prohibit any kind of disability discrimination in work environments. This legislature has helped thousands of Americans living with disability to obtain employment and assist those with disabilities have access to the same services as people without disabilities.
