IS DIB THE SAME AS SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY? I THOUGHT IT WAS SSD ?




This information may help claimants with representation, as well as claimants who are not represented by an attorney or non attorney representative. Understanding how the Social Security Disability system works can make the difference between winning or not winning the continuing disability benefits and backpay to which a person is entitled.

Actually, social security disability goes by a number of different names and acronyms, which can be confusing to disability claimants to say the least.

The following terms are all synonymous with social security disability:
  1. ssd (for social security disability)
  2. ssdi (for social security disability insurance)
  3. dib (for disability insurance beneficiary)
  4. rsdi (for retirement, survivors, disability insurance)
  5. title II (this refers to title 2 of the social security act)
All of these terms are distinct and separate from another program, Supplemental Security Income, which is also referred to as ssi or title 16
