Social Security Disability Insurance doesn’t just protect older workers; it covers individuals of all ages
who experience a disabling condition. While the likelihood of receiving SSDI benefits increases with age,
the program is there for younger workers as well. SSDI ensures that all eligible workers, regardless of
age, can access financial assistance if they experience a severe disability that renders them unable to
work.
Preserving SSDI for all workers, no matter their age, is key to ensuring fair access to support for those
facing unforeseen challenges.
Regardless of age, every worker should have the security of knowing SSDI is available when needed.
