About Social Security Disability & Supplemental Security Income
If you are disabled and cannot work, you may be able to receive disability payments from the federal government. The Social Security Administration runs two programs for Social Security disability. These benefits are part of the Social Security program, which was established by President Roosevelt during the Great Depression.
The first program is called Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Social Security Disability Insurance Benefits (DIB). Social Security Disability is an insurance program for workers who can no longer work due to their disability. A worker is considered “insured” when they have worked for about five of the last ten years and have worked a required number of quarters in a year.
The second program is Supplemental Security Income (SSI). SSI is funded through general tax revenue and not an individual’s Social Security Tax contributions, so an individual may be eligible for SSI when they have not paid enough Social Security tax to receive SSDI benefits.

For both programs, the Social Security Administration defines “disability” as a physical or mental impairment that is expected to last more than one year or result in death which keeps a person from doing substantial work. When determining whether a person is disabled, the Social Security Administration considers the individual’s age, education, work history and transferability of work skills (whether they can work at another job). Because many factors are evaluated, no two cases are the same; each case is examined on an individual basis.
The Social Security Administration has information available to describe the severity of a disease or impairment necessary for it to be considered disabling. For example, heart failure, depression and arthritis are all on the list of potentially disabling conditions. You do not need to be totally disabled in order to qualify for benefits. Even if you do not meet the listing requirements, it is still possible for you to be considered disabled when looking at your other individual factors.
