Social Security Also Provides Disability Protection Worth More Than $220, 000 While people usually think of retirement benefits when they think of Social Security, the program also protects a worker who becomes severely disabled
Few workers have private, long-term disability insurance
But nearly all workers do have Social Security disability protection, which is equivalent to a $223, 000 disability policy for an average income earner with a spouse and two children
The disability must be expected to last for at least 12 months or to result in death

Testimony of Task Force on Social Security Disability before House Ways and Means
Subcommittee on...
Matsui and members of the subcommittee, thank you for the opportunity to testify today on the Future of SSA Disability Programs
INTRODUCTION We appreciate having this opportunity to examine the needs of persons with disabilities who are on, or who will be participants in, the SSA disability programs – Social Security Disability Insurance [SSDI] and Supplemental Security Income [SSI]
Since their inception, these disability programs have evolved unevenly whereby individual problems in the programs were identified and partially solved, not always with a comprehensive view or purpose
Federal disability programs, as originally envisioned, were based on the assumption that people who became disabled would remain disabled throughout the rest their lives
This static view of disability meant that little thought was given to what might happen if people returned to work after becoming eligible for benefits
However, disability is not static
Disability is a dynamic condition
Medical advances, new technologies, improvements in rehabilitation services, and the expectations of people with disabilities have all conspired to change the meaning of disability, the very definition of disability

RI Department of Human Services Office of Rehabilitation Services "Helping Individuals with Disabilities to Choose, Find and Keep Employment" Disability Determination Services Program Description ORS administers the Disability Determination Services (DDS) for the Social Security Administration (SSA)
This unit determines the medical eligibility of children and adults with disabilities applying for cash benefits who are Rhode Island residents and are applying for cash benefits via Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI)(Title II) and/or the Supplementary Security Income (SSI)(Title XVI)

Almost nobody knows about the disability function of Social Security
Let’s make this clear right now: If you work long enough at a job which is covered by Social Security and you become disabled you are probably eligible for Social Security Disability ( SSD ) benefits
According to the Social Security Administration, a “Disability” can be physical or emotional, or some combination of both
In order to win benefits you must have a disability severe enough to keep you from working in any regular paying job for at least 12 consecutive months
Furthermore, to obtain your Social Security Disability benefits you must have a doctor state that you are disabled “by medically acceptable clinical and laboratory findings.” Unfortunately many genuinely disabling conditions are difficult to diagnose by objective testing
