    Benefits for disabled persons were added to Social Security in 1956 under President Eisenhower. By 1967, Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits were extended to dependents of disabled persons, and to widowers of disabled persons, when the disabled person was qualified for collecting Social Security Disability Insurance benefits.
