Social Security Administration Benefits

Monthly income and health insurance for people unable to work

Monthly income & Health insurance

Some people living with a mental health condition find that there are periods of time when working becomes too difficult, and they can no longer sustain employment. Fortunately, there are two national programs run by the Social Security Administration (SSA) that provide monthly income and health insurance for people unable to work. Here is some information on both programs:

Benefits to people who can’t work because they have a medical condition that’s expected to last at least one year or result in death

Benefits to people with limited income and resources who are blind, age 65 or older, or have a qualifying disability

Partial pay to eligible workers who need time off for family reasons.
