Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), a federal program administered by the Social Security Administration, provides financial benefits to individuals who can no longer work due to severe, long-term disabilities. While SSDI offers crucial support, many recipients have disabilities caused by harmful drugs, defective medical devices, or toxic exposures that are now the subject of large-scale mass tort litigation. Cases involving products such as opioids, talcum powder, and water contamination at military bases like Camp Lejeune have left thousands permanently impaired, prompting lawsuits against major corporations for negligence and failure to warn about the risks. These lawsuits often run parallel to SSDI claims, with plaintiffs seeking both government assistance and legal compensation. Although SSDI benefits are generally unaffected by mass tort settlements, the overlap underscores the growing connection between public health, corporate accountability, and disability protections, as courts and regulators push for stronger safeguards and fairer compensation for affected individuals.
