You might need them someday. Disability is something you think might not happen to you .But your chances of becoming disabled are probably greater than you realize .
How are benefits paid?
We pay disability benefits under two programs :The Social Security disability insurance program, which pays benefits to you and certain family members if you worked long enough and paid Social Security taxes .Your adult child also may qualify for benefits on your earnings record if he or she has a disability that started before age 22 . Also, The Supplemental Security Income SSI program pays benefits to disabled adults and children who have limited income and resources .
