The United States Social Security Administration reported that 62,626 Americans were receiving Social Security, Supplemental Security Income, or both as of July 2013.
Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) is a payroll tax-funded, federal insurance program created by the United States Government. This program is managed by the Social Security Administration and is designed to provide income supplements to individuals that are physically restricted in their ability to become employed.

These benefits can be supplied on either a temporary or permanent basis, while being correlated to whether the person is temporary or permanently disabled.
