In most cases state disability insurance is not something you sign up for. There are five states with mandatory short term disability. Private workers are automatically enrolled. Government workers may have the option to participate, but the government entity must agree to automatically enroll all employees. California allows self employed workers to sign up for its state short term disability program.
Social security disability is administered at the state level. Every citizen makes premium payments into the fund via FICA payroll taxes. If you need to apply for benefits after becoming disabled, you would need to contact your state disability determination office.
