There were 7,285 total OASDI disabled beneficiaries in Bay City in 2018, a 1.6% decrease from 2017, which had 7,405 total disabled beneficiaries, according to the official Social Security Administration website.

The Old-Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance (OASDI) program is a program of the Social Security Administration funded primarily through payroll taxes. It was signed into law in 1935 by then-President Franklin D. Roosevelt.

The OASDI program aims to supplement a worker’s lost wages due to retirement, disability or death of a spouse.
