Can I get SSDI if I don’t have a work history in Kentucky? In Kentucky, Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) generally requires a qualifying work history to receive benefits. If you don’t have enough work credits, you typically cannot qualify for SSDI based on your own earnings record. However, there may be other options like Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or benefits through a family member’s record. It’s important to understand the work credit requirements specific to SSDI eligibility in Kentucky.
