Can I get SSDI if I don’t have a work history in Mississippi? Generally, to qualify for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), you must have a sufficient work history paying into Social Security through payroll taxes. In Mississippi, if you lack work credits because you haven’t worked enough years or at all, you likely won’t be eligible for SSDI benefits. However, there may be other options such as Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or benefits through a family member’s work record. It’s important to understand the work credit requirements before applying for SSDI to avoid a denial.
