Applying for disability income can be a complex and challenging process, but it is essential for individuals who are unable to work due to a disability. Disability income provides financial assistance to help cover living expenses and medical costs.
There are two main types of disability income: Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and private disability insurance. SSDI is a federal program that provides benefits to disabled individuals who have worked and paid into the Social Security system. Private disability insurance is purchased from an insurance company and provides benefits to disabled individuals regardless of their work history.
