Federal Disability Benefit Programs

Federal Disability Benefit Programs provide financial support to individuals who are unable to work due to a medical condition or disability. The two main programs are Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI). SSDI is for those who have paid into Social Security through employment, while SSI assists individuals with limited income and resources, regardless of work history. Both programs require applicants to meet specific medical criteria to prove their eligibility. These benefits help cover living expenses and essential needs for those facing significant health challenges.
