The answer depends upon several factors, and the payer may be a public or a private source.

On the public side, one may qualify for Social Security Disability Income benefits. Qualification depends upon meeting certain guidelines, including having paid into the system (through taxes) for a given number of "quarters". It also depends upon a determination by Social Security that the applicant is unable to perform any work. The amount received depends upon earning history and, to a degree, family size, in that a minor child may receive a benefit via the disabled party's grant of benefits.

On the private side, one may have purchased a disability insurance policy from an insurance company. Assuming that premiums were paid and a disabling event occurs, the insurer would be responsible for payments. The nature and extent of a disability that triggers an entitlement to benefits will be outlined in the policy. The length of time that the disability payments are made, and any waiting period before payments start are variable defined by the policy and which the insured selects when buying the policy. Both of those selections have a bearing upon the monthly premium.
