- Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI): SSDI is a federal program for Americans who worked for years but can no longer work due to an injury or disability. Most citizens pay into Social Security through taxes once they begin working and the amount you receive for monthly disability benefits depends on the number of years you worked and your income.
- Supplemental Security Income (SSI): SSI is another federal program available to Americans who can’t work due to disability. However, this program is an option if you’ve never worked or haven’t worked in a number of years. It’s also needs-based, and you can only qualify if you meet certain income requirements. You can apply for SSI through the same application as SSDI, so applying for both at the same time is often a good idea.
- Private disability insurance: If you purchased a short-term or long-term disability insurance policy before you became injured or disabled, you may be eligible for monthly payments. Whether you purchased this plan on your own or through your employer, you’ll likely apply for benefits through the insurance company. The amount of your payout depends on the terms of your policy. Even if you have a private long-term policy, the insurer may require you to apply for SSDI as well.
- Veterans disability benefits: For those who served in the military and sustained an injury that left you unable to work, you can apply for disability benefits through the office of Veterans Affairs. It is possible to receive VA disability benefits and Social Security disability at the same time.
