What is the difference between Social Security disability and SSI disability?
The Social Security Administration is responsible for two major programs that provide benefits based on disability: Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI). • Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) is a disability insurance program financed with Social Security taxes paid by workers, employers, and self-employed persons. To qualify for Social Security Disability Insurance the worker must earn a certain level of credits based on taxable work. SSDI disability benefits are payable to blind and disabled workers, widows, widowers, and adults disabled since childhood if they are otherwise eligible. • Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is a need-based government assistance program. SSI disability benefits are payable to adults or children who are disabled or blind, have limited income and resources, meet the living arrangement requirements, and are otherwise eligible.
Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), is based on your prior work under Social Security. Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits are based upon both disability and financial need. For SSI the monthly payment varies up to the maximum federal benefit rate, which may be supplemented by the State or decreased by countable income and resources. Social Security Disability is financed with Social Security taxes paid by workers, employers and self-employed persons. To be eligible for Social Security benefit, the worker must earn sufficient credits based on taxable earnings to be “insured” for Social Security purposes. The amount of the monthly disability benefit is based on the Social Security earnings record of the insured worker.
