Social security has two programs to pay disability benefits. The first is the Social Security Disability Insurance and the second is the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program. For specific information about your situation, you should call Social Security.
Social Security pays benefits to people who cannot work because they have a medical condition that is expected to last at least one year or result in death. Federal law requires this very strict definition of disability. While some programs give money to people with partial disability or short-term disability, Social Security does not. Certain family members of disabled workers also can receive money from Social Security.
Contact Social Security at this toll-free number at 1-800-772-1213. They can answer specific questions from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Friday. If a person is deaf or hard of hearing, you may call our TTY number, 1-800-325-0778.
