The Social Security Administration (SSA) defines “disability” as a person's inability to perform any kind of work for which he or she is suited because of an injury or a medical condition. The disability should be expected to last for at least one year, or result in death. The disability can be a result of a physical or mental condition, or a combination of a number of such conditions.
Disabled persons are eligible to collect SSDI benefits.
Their families may also be eligible. Once benefits begin, they will continue as long as the person remains disabled.
It is estimated that up to 54 million disabled children, adults and their families live in the United States. To provide economic assistance to the disabled, the Social Security Administration (SSA) has instituted two programs:
- Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI): SSDI is an “insurance” program that pays disability benefits to persons (as well as to their certain disabled dependents) who have paid into the Social Security trust fund through Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA taxes). The employers of these insured individuals make equal FICA contributions on behalf of the employee.
- Supplemental Security Income (SSI): SSI is a financial aid, or needs-based program that provides a basic income for disabled people who meet specific low-income guidelines. Regardless of your lack of employment history and age, you can receive SSI benefits when you become disabled.
