Social Security Disability or Title II is an insurance program.
You pay into the program from your paychecks each pay period.
Just like Social Security Retirement.
So if you become sick or injured and can no longer work you may be able to get paid a monthly benefit.
It is not a welfare program.
The welfare program is SSI.
Do not let anyone tell you that people are ripping off the government when they are on Social Security Disability.
Because it is your money that you have paid in over your work career.
The amount people receive for Social Security Disability varies because the amount you pay is different over your lifetime.
However, you must still prove you are disabled to be eligible to get your monthly payments.
