Is SSDI available to people under 30 in Texas? In Texas, Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits are available to individuals under 30 who meet specific criteria. Eligibility depends on whether you have accumulated enough work credits and have a qualifying disability that prevents substantial gainful activity. People under 30 can receive SSDI if their disability started early enough and they have sufficient work history or qualify through a parent's Social Security record.
