Many people who cannot work due to a disabling illness or injury qualify for federal government benefits under programs administered by the Social Security Administration (SSA). An essential requirement for receiving these benefits — either Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) — is medical evidence of a "total disability" that keeps the applicant from working.
