SSD benefits may consist of cash payments and medical coverage. Benefits depend on your financial situation and whether you qualify under the appropriate Social Security Administration regulations.

You may be eligible for SSD benefits if you can answer "yes" to any of the following questions:

• Do you have a severe physical or mental impairment that prevents you from working?

• Has your disability lasted - or is it expected to last - for at least one year?
