Social Security Disability insurance, also known as workers’ disability, is an insurance program run by the U.S. federal government which provides monthly benefits to disabled citizens. The insurance program is funded by the federal tax collected from payrolls and intends to help those who cannot work due to their disability. There are certain requirements and criteria which one needs to meet in order to be eligible for these monthly payments. A layman might find the requirements quite complex and difficult to understand so it is best to consult social security disability lawyers for assistance.
