People with Parkinson’s Disease in North Dakota may qualify for federal disability benefits like SSI and SSDI, plus state Medicaid and support programs. This guide explains eligibility, how to apply, and work incentives.
To qualify for federal disability benefits with Parkinson’s Disease, you must meet the Social Security Administration’s (SSA) definition of disability. This means your condition must be severe enough to prevent you from doing substantial work and is expected to last at least 12 months or result in death.

SSI is for low-income individuals, while SSDI is for those with a work history and Social Security tax payments. Both programs require medical evidence and may need a review by Disability Determination Services (DDS) in North Dakota.
