Disability income refers to financial support provided to individuals who are unable to work due to a physical or mental condition. This income can come from various sources, including government programs like Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or private insurance policies. The goal is to help cover living expenses when a person cannot earn a regular paycheck. Eligibility for disability income typically requires proof of the disability and its impact on the ability to work. The amount received can vary based on factors such as previous earnings and the specific program. This support is crucial for maintaining financial stability during challenging times.
