WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY (SSDI) AND SSI ?





In terms of establishing eligibility to receive disability benefits, there is no practical difference between social security disability and ssi.

In other words, whether or not a disability claimant has filed for social security disability (aka ssdi or ssd) or supplemental security income will have no impact on how their claim is processed. In either case, an application will be taken, medical records will be gathered and evaluated, and a determination regarding eligibility will be made.

The substantial difference between social security disability and ssi, however, is simply the fact that social security disability is available to wage earners who have accumulated a sufficient number of work credits, while ssi disability benefits may be available to individuals who have either never worked or who have earned an insufficient number of work credits to qualify for ssd.
