Social Security
If you become disabled or cannot work because of a physical condition which is expected to last at least one year or result in death, you may be eligible for Social Security disability benefits. People with disabilities, including children, who have little income and few resources, also may be eligible for disability payments through the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program. You can visit the government website www.socialsecurity.gov to find answers to questions regarding the benefits or to file for benefits.
