The Social Security Administration pays monthly cash benefits to people ages 18 to 64 with disabilities who are not able to support themselves. Currently, eligibility for benefits restricts earnings to no more than $800 per month and restricts savings or personal assets, including life insurance policies, to no more than $2000.

Social Security disability programs also offer healthcare coverage or medical assistance through Medicare and Medicaid.
