Sixty-two percent (7.2 million) received benefits from the Social Security program only, 29 percent (3.3 million) received benefits from the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program only, and 9 percent (1.1 million) received benefits from both programs concurrently.

Global Disability Insurance Market Growth, by Region 2023-2030

global disability insurance market growth, by region

The North America Region is expected to Hold a Prominent Share of the Global Disability Insurance Market

North America is expected to dominate the disability insurance market size in 2021 and is expected to maintain its position during the forecast period. Disability insurance policies in North America vary in term of coverage, benefits, and premiums. The increasing use for technology and the importance of knowing requirements of the user and available products of insurance is driving the North America market growth. The increasing number of favorable government initiatives towards disabilities, social securities for employees, are the factors leading the market.  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.
