If you live in the United States, yes. One of the disability insurance programs run by the Social Security Administration (SSA) is the Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Under this program which is funded by federal taxes, any person who is aged or disabled with little to no income may be eligible to receive such SSI benefits. To qualify, the individual must have a medically determinable physical or mental impairment that would result to inability to do any substantial gainful activity or which can result to death or last for 12 months. Children who are disabled may also receive SSI benefits so long as they have severe functional limitations which shall last for not less than 12 months or end in death.
