If you’re unable to work because of a medical condition and you’re under retirement age, you may qualify for monthly disability payments from Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI)—also called SSD.

What Is SSDI?
SSDI is a federal program that provides monthly income to people who:
- Have a medical condition that prevents them from working
- Have worked and paid into Social Security through taxes
- Are under full retirement age

✅ 2. Gather Your Documents
You’ll need:

Mass Tort vs. Class Action – Know the Difference
These are both ways to handle lawsuits involving large groups of people, but they work differently.
🧑⚖️ Mass Tort
- Many people file individual lawsuits about the same issue (like a harmful drug).
- Each person’s case is handled separately.
- Compensation is based on your own situation and injuries.
- You have more control over your case.
- May take longer because each case is reviewed on its own.
👥 Class Action
- One big lawsuit is filed on behalf of a whole group of people with similar complaints.
- A lead plaintiff speaks for everyone.
- Everyone in the group usually gets the same payout.
- It’s often faster and less complex.
- Good when everyone has the same issue and similar damages.
