Social Security Disability Insurance: What It Is and How It Pays

Social Security disability insurance (SSDI) is similar in some ways to private or corporate-sponsored disability plans. In other words, if you’re disabled to the point that you’re unable to work, the program will pay you a monthly income benefit. Just like Social Security retirement benefits, funds for Social Security disability insurance come from current workers, whose taxes fund the SSDI Trust Fund.
