If one's disability is expected to last for a year or more, or is expected to result in death, the person could be deemed eligible for Social Security Disability Insurance. This could help afford a disabled person some means of support, or a way to support their family, if they have become too disabled to work at a job that would pay for the cost of living.

The same process of determining medical disability applies to all four programs.
Social Security Disability Insurance vs. Supplemental Security Income
The Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) is not to be confused with Supplemental Security Income (SSI) programs. There are some differences between the two:
- SSDI pays benefits to you and certain members of your family if you have worked long enough, and paid the Social Security taxes, which fund this program. A person who is eligible to receive SSDI will automatically be enrolled in Medicare after receiving 24 months of benefits.
- SSI pays benefits, whether or not you have ever worked, based upon financial need. It is funded by general tax revenues (not Social Security taxes) and is a Federal income supplement program. If one is eligible to receive SSI, they automatically qualify for Medicare with no waiting period.
