History

Historical Context

SSDI and SSI payments reflect ongoing adjustments to support vulnerable populations. The Social Security Act, established in 1935, initially excluded disability benefits. In 1956, disability insurance was introduced, responding to rising unemployment and economic pressures. Historical amendments, particularly in 1983, aimed to ensure the program's sustainability amid demographic shifts, highlighting the continuous evolution of America's social safety net.
