Of the millions of workers who are eligible, about 7.3 million are currently receiving SSDI benefits. These
individuals rely on the program to make ends meet as they cope with disabilities that prevent them from
earning an income through traditional employment. SSDI serves as a lifeline for these workers and their
families, providing much-needed financial support.
The continued funding and support of SSDI are necessary to ensure that these millions of Americans
have the assistance they depend on during difficult times. For these individuals, SSDI is often the only
source of income, highlighting its essential role in their financial stability.
