SSI is not quite the same as SSD (social security disability). With social security disability, what a person gets as a monthly benefit is determined by "what they paid into the system". SSI is different. It is a program designed to assist those who are not eligible for SSD due to insufficient work credits. What an SSI recipient receives as a montthly disability benefit is determined by the federal government and this amount is standardized, meaning that you get the same amount no matter you live. For 2006, the SSI amount was 585.00.
