Question: Won't Social Security Pay if I Become Disabled?
Answer:
Yes, you can collect Social Security benefits if you become disabled but is is very difficult. In order to collect Social Security benefits due to a disability, your disability must be severe enough to prevent you from doing any kind of work, not just your current job. In addition, the disability would need to be classified as permanent.
Even if you are lucky enough to qualify for Social Security benefits, the benefits most likely will not be enough for you to maintain your current lifestyle or even a decent living. To learn more about disability insurance see Considering Disability Income Insurance
