BeyondtheRainbow is correct. If you have not worked long enough but are considered medically ill you would get SSI. People that get SSI don't get much money but it's better than nothing.

Also as Vertigo pointed out if your able to eventually work part-time that would help you out.

I was just approved for SSDI (for people who have worked enough). If I can find a job down the line with little to no stress that's part-time I'll take it. I have a frnd that subs as a teacher. She can sign up for assignments the morning of. So if she wakes up and feels ok she can log in see what's available and select what she wants. I wish I could find something like that but teaching isn't my thing. I just like the concept.
