It is designed to help aged, blind, and disabled people, who have little or no income and provides cash to meet basic needs for food, clothing, and shelter.

Social Security's Disability Insurance Benefits are federally funded and administered by the U.S. Social
Security Administration (SSA). Social Security pays disability benefits to you and certain members of your
family if you have worked long enough and have a medical condition that prevents you from working for
at least 12 months or is expected to end in death.

The Social Security and Supplemental Security Income disability programs are the largest of several Federal programs that provide assistance to people with disabilities. While these two programs are different in many ways, both are administered by the Social Security Administration and only individuals who have a disability and meet medical criteria may qualify for benefits under either program.
