"A Guy Walks Into a..."
 Disability Office

Social Security and SSI cover a lot of people, but what about the people that are temporarily or permanently disabled? Sure, they may qualify for SSI, but what defines a "disability"?

For this activity, I want you to examine all of the data below, and respond to the following needs, found in red. On a separate sheet of paper, you can simply "answer their questions". Remember, this is just Part 1 of the activity, with more of the "fun stuff" coming next class period. 

"A Guy Walks Into a Disability Office, and Asks..." ​

  • I recently broke my arm in a work-related accident. My friend told me about "disability insurance". Is that a thing? I just want some basic information on "disability insurance". Just a quick overview...
  • I have a young child at home who was born with Cerebral Palsy. His medical bills are very high, and my wife and I work extra hard to help pay them, although it's never enough. Can you help me? We're just not sure if he's sick enough​ or if we even qualify. Is this illness even a "disability" and are there programs for us?
  • Look, I'd love to work, but with this disability, I just can't find a job. Is there a program that helps people find jobs, especially those who have been injured on the job?
