yes. Social Securuty disability is based upon the fact that a person cannot work due to a disability. The amount the person collects from Social Security will be based upon their prior work history: how long they worked and at what pay.

You can use your SSDI (Social Security Disability) payments any way you want

such as for paying a rent or mortgage, food, clothes, and also a car. It would simply be up to you to budget the amount you get with your expenses.

Normally you will not get lump sums unless there is a good reason. Keep in mind your Medicare coverage, unless the ObamaCare has changed this, wont even start untill you have been on the SSDI for two years. You will still have some expenses with Medicare for example if you pay for Medicare B (which most people will definitely need), Medicare B will only pay 80 percent. So you will be left paying the 20 percent unless you also have your state medicaid in which case usually the medicaid will pick most or all of it up. You will need to budget carefully as to where you live, how expensive your house or apartment is, your utilities, your food, your clothing, etc as well as a car or other type of transportation. Something to keep in mind: if you qualify for your state's medicaid (normally an income question) you may be eligible for transportation, however that transportation will probably be limited to a certain amount of times a month and will only as far as I know, be good to get to your doctor appointments. If you cannot walk to work and elsewhere or take a bus,

or a taxi, you will probably need a car.. You are not limited to how you spend your check but you do have to budget and use wisdom so you won't find yourself in a pickle.

Yes a person on Social Security Disability can buy or own a car. However, driving it depends on what you claimed in your reports. If you said you cannot sit because of Back pain, then in their view, you can't drive either. If you claimed you can't lift or use your legs, you can't drive unless you have special equipment. If you claimed a problem with your balance, you wouldn't be driving a motorcycle. Just common sense factors.

When you get a car on disability do they pay your insurance?

It is unclear what you are asking, but I will do my best. If you are asking whether you can buy a car with your disability payments (from a private insurer, Social Security Disability, or otherwise), yes. Keep in mind, though that that may leave you short for other needs, but it is business decision for you to make. The payer of the disability benefits has no obligation to buy a car for you under ordinary circumstances. It would be the very odd situation that would require a disability payer to do so. Nonetheless, a private insurer may consider doing so as a means of facilitating your return to work and thereby no longer qualifying for disability. In the long run, it may be cheaper for it to go "out of policy" and do this, than paying benefits for a very long time. The contract controls what you can collect under a private policy; statutes control what you can collect under public sources of disability, such as Social Security Disability.
