For instance, Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) is a government-run disability insurance program in the US that provides benefits to eligible individuals who have worked and paid into the social security system. The SSDI program pays benefits to certain family members if they are insured. This means that worked long enough and recently enough and paid social security taxes on their earnings. The SSI program pays benefits to adults and children who meet our requirements for a qualifying disability and have limited income and resources. Persons with disabilities face physical, financial, attitudinal, and other barriers to participating in society. Many of these barriers are systemic and long-standing. The Government of Canada is working with the disability community to remove those barriers, and to consciously create a more inclusive country. The work required to achieve this is extensive, and it requires meaningful and sustained action. In October 2022, the Government of Canada releases the national disability inclusion action plan, which consists of current and future actions, including programs, policies and investments that aim to improve the lives of persons with disabilities in Canada. The action plan has four initial pillars such as financial security, employment, accessible and inclusive communities, and a modern approach to disability.
