Social Security Benefits: People who are unable to work because of an illness, injury, or impairment may be able to file a claim for support with the Social Security Administration . The Social Security Administration pays benefits through two programs: the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program and the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) program.
Supplemental Security Income (SSI): A federal assistance program whereby a monthly stipend is distributed to disabled individuals with a limited income. SSI benefits may also be available for disabled children whose parent or guardian is at a low-income level.

Disability: A person is considered disabled by the Social Security Administration so long as he/she (1) cannot do the work that he/she did before; (2) cannot adjust to other work because of his/her medical condition(s); and (3) the disability has lasted or is expected to last for at least one year or may result in death.
Worker’s compensation: A state-regulated insurance program that provides injured employees with medical benefits and wage replacement. Claims are processed by the Workers’ Compensation Board. The Board determines via a judicial proceeding whether an employee qualifies and how much he/she will receive.
