# Social Security Disability Insurance | | **Social Security Disability Insurance** is a payroll tax-funded federal insurance program of the United States government. It is managed by the Social Security Administration and designed to provide monthly benefits to people who have a medically determinable disability that restricts their ability to be employed. SSDI does not provide partial or temporary benefits but rather pays only full benefits and only pays benefits in cases in which the disability is "expected to last at least one year or result in death." Relative to disability programs in other countries in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the SSDI program in the United States has strict requirements regarding eligibility. | |-|-| | | wikipedia:: [Social Security Disability Insurance](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_Security_Disability_Insurance) | Distinct from [[Supplemental Security Income|SSI]] ## Short-term disability ## Long-term disability ## Sources - [Disability Insurance: Why You Need It - NerdWallet](https://www.nerdwallet.com/article/insurance/disability-insurance-explained#types-of-disability-insurance) - [What is short-term disability insurance and how does it work?](https://www.usatoday.com/money/blueprint/health-insurance/short-term-disability-insurance/)
