People with Fragile X Syndrome in North Dakota may qualify for federal disability benefits like SSI and SSDI, as well as state programs including Medicaid, SNAP, and work incentives. This guide covers eligibility, how to apply, and key support resources.
To qualify for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), you generally need 40 work credits, with 20 earned in the last 10 years before your disability began. SSDI is for those who have paid into Social Security through work. Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is for people with limited income and resources, regardless of work history. Both programs require that your disability prevents you from working and is expected to last at least one year or result in death. Fragile X Syndrome may qualify if it causes severe functional limitations.
