Social Security Benefits for Disability

Social Security Benefits for Disability are just one type of benefit that the Social Security Administration offers. Retirement benefits, dependents benefits, survivors benefits, and disability benefits are the main types of Social Security benefits available to eligible citizens. There are even several different types of Social Security benefits for disability alone.  The two that are most common are Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI).

The Social Security Administration describes types of Social Security benefits for disability as follows:

• Disabled worker—beneficiary who worked in covered employment long enough to be insured and who had been working recently in covered employment prior to disability onset
• Spouse of disabled worker—must either (1) have a child under age 16 or a disabled child in his or her care, or (2) be at least 62 years old; applies also to divorced spouse if the marriage lasted at least 10 years
• Child of disabled worker—see 3 types of child benefits below
