Major Federal Acts That Guide SSDI

Understanding the major federal acts that guide Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) can be the key to unlocking the benefits you deserve. From the foundational Social Security Act of 1935 to the empowering Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), these cornerstone laws not only created SSDI but also protect your rights during the application process. Whether you're starting your claim, fighting an appeal, or exploring work opportunities, knowing your rights under these acts can make all the difference.

Learn how these laws help you navigate the SSDI process, how they are used in appeals, and why recent changes—like the Supreme Court's overturning of Chevron deference—could impact your claim.
