What is the difference between SSD & SSI?
The Social Security Administration (SSA) has two types of disability benefits to offer: Social Security Disability (SSD) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Both programs act to supplement the income of anyone who isn’t able to work due to a medical disability. SSI and SSD work to serve two different groups, and being eligible for one doesn’t necessarily mean you will be eligible for the other. Understanding the difference is the key to getting the benefits you deserve when you suffer a disability
What is SSI?
In contrast to SSDI, Social Security Insurance (SSI) does not require that the applicant was ever employed. As a result, children and adults with disabilities can become eligible to receive SSI benefits even if they never worked. SSI is funded from general taxes, so it doesn’t matter if you never paid federal taxes of any kind before. This is because SSI is designed as a supplement benefit for indigent elderly, blind, and disabled people.
What is SSD?
Social Security Disability Insurance (SSD) is a federal program providing financial help to those unable to work due to a medical condition. SSD is a work-based program that is funded from your taxes. As you pay into FICA, you build up Social Security credits. These are then used to payout a benefit to you if you become disabled and entitled to receive SSD. You can only apply for SSD if you were employed. This is because it is designed as a benefit for workers.
