Millions of individuals with disabilities become dislocated from work due to current or new disabilities. As a result, they become connected to Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) as both an income support and a source of other critical public benefits. In challenging economic times, they are also more likely than people without disabilities to be laid off and receive Unemployment Insurance.
