Medicaid
Medicaid provides health insurance to people who are aged, blind or disabled. These programs pay for hospital services, doctor visits, prescriptions, nursing home care, and other healthcare needs.

Supplemental Security Income/Social Security Disability Insurance

The Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program provides monthly payments to adults and children with a disability or blindness who have income and resources below specific financial limits.

Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) pays monthly benefits to workers who are no longer able to work due to a significant illness or impairment that is expected to last at least a year or to result in death within a year. To be eligible, a disabled worker must have worked in jobs covered by Social Security.

Social Security Disability Survivor Benefits are paid to disabled children of individuals that are deceased and received SSDI.
