Social Security Disability is what is called an insurance program.
You must pay into Social Security for enough quarters in 5 out of the last 10 years to be eligible.
If you do not work enough and pay enough into the system, then you will not receive any money even if you are physically or mentally disabled.
You could be eligible for SSI but it only pays just over $600 per month, and most income or assets you have can reduce your SSI payments.
