  • Personal resources. Existing savings and other assets are known as someone’s financial net worth. To help identify all the immediate financial resources at someone’s disposal, Allsup offers an online net worth calculator. Some assets (such as cash, savings accounts and checking accounts) are available for immediate use. Other assets (such as stocks, a home, vehicles and similar assets) would need to be converted to cash for use in paying monthly expenses. Of course, a long-term disability insurance policy also can be a resource, typically providing about 60 percent of someone’s salary, according to the organization America’s Health Insurance Plans.
  • A spouse’s income. Having a supportive spouse is a blessing, and having a spouse who works can significantly help in the long term. Sometimes an SSDI claimant’s spouse can return to work or increase worked hours to help offset lost income. Another benefit to keep in mind is access to medical insurance through a spouse’s employer. Allsup provides an online calculator that shows the financial impact of having additional income in a household.
  • Financial assistance programs. There are many federal, state and local government programs available to help those with disabilities or low incomes. There also are many privately funded programs to turn to, including help with paying gas, electricity, telephone and water bills, property tax credits, food stamps, food pantries and more
