Overview
of Social Security Disability
Social Security Disability is a type of
compensation available to people who are incapable of working, if they
meet certain requirements. It is
compensation from the federal, rather than the state, government. This
system is run by an agency referred to as the "Social Security
Administration," which is a division of the Department of Health and
Human Services.
Social Security Disability is different
from workers' compensation disability. Social Security Disability has a
different administrative procedure and different requirements for
compensation.
An important difference between Social Security Disability and
workers' compensation is that Social Security Disability is payable
whether the claimant cannot work due to a work-related injury or some
other medical reason. [On the other hand, workers' compensation is only
available if the disability is due to a work-related injury].
