What Is The Distribution Of SSDI Recipients By Disability & How Has It Changed Over Time?

The Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) program is one of two federal disability benefit programs. SSDI is an income support benefit for adults who were employed (and accrued the requisite number of work credits), but can no longer work due to a medical condition that is expected to last at least one year or result in death. The second federal disability program – supplemental security income (SSI) – is a means-tested income-support benefit program for disabled adults and children.
