Federal Disability Policy

Federal disability policy establishes the rules and programs that support individuals with disabilities, ensuring they have access to necessary services, accommodations, and financial assistance. Key programs like Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) provide income for those unable to work due to disability, while the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) prohibits discrimination and promotes equal opportunities in employment, public spaces, and transportation. These policies aim to promote independence, protect rights, and improve quality of life for people with disabilities, fostering their inclusion in all aspects of society through legal protections and supportive resources.
