I have a physical or mental impairment that keeps me from working. What sort of help is available for me from Social Security?
There are two basic types of payments available to those who apply to the Social Security Administration: Disability Insurance Benefits and Supplemental Security Income.
Disability Insurance Benefits
Claimants who are disabled and are currently insured by Social Security are entitled to monthly disability insurance payments from the Social Security Administration.
Supplemental Security Income
Regardless of whether or not you are insured under Social Security, if your income is low enough and you have limited assets, you may be eligible to receive supplemental income. You must meet the same disability requirements that apply to Disability Insurance Benefits.
