disability benefit

Incapacity financial support

Disability benefit is a payment from government or insurance to someone unable to work due to illness, injury, or impairment.

The term usually refers to ongoing income support rather than one-time compensation: She's been on disability benefits since the accident.

In the U.S., Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) are the main federal programs.
