What is the Difference Between SSI and SSDI?
Both programs are overseen and/or managed by the Social Security Administration, and medical eligibility for both is also determined in the same manner.
- SSI is a needs-based program that provides financial assistance to individuals with limited income and resources who are disabled, blind, or aged, regardless of their work history, while SSDI is an insurance program that provides benefits to individuals who have worked and paid Social Security taxes for a sufficient period and become disabled.
- To qualify for SSI, applicants must meet strict financial criteria based on their income and assets, whereas SSDI eligibility is primarily based on an individual's work history and the severity of their disability.
