What Types of Disability Benefits Are Available in Maryland?
There are several programs that may help if you're unable to work. Here’s a breakdown of the most common ones:

For people who’ve worked and paid into Social Security but can no longer work due to a serious disability.
Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
For people with limited income and resources who are disabled, blind, or over age 65.
Long-Term Disability (LTD) Insurance
Usually through your employer or a private plan, this pays out for long-term disabilities.
Short-Term Disability (STD) Insurance
Covers short-term medical issues — usually a few weeks to months — and is often provided by employers.
Workers' Compensation
Covers injuries or illnesses caused by your job, including lost wages and medical care.
