Dolores LuceroSSI vs. SSDI: Benefits and Requirements
Understanding the differences between Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) is crucial when navigating the disability benefits system. While both programs aim to provide financial assistance to individuals with disabilities, they have distinct eligibility criteria, benefits, and application processes. Below we’ll explore the key differences between SSI and SSDI, including their benefits, requirements, and how they may impact your eligibility for other assistance programs.
SSI provides monthly payments to eligible individuals who have limited income and resources and who are aged, blind, or disabled.
SSDI provides benefits to disabled individuals who have worked and paid into the Social Security system.
It’s possible to receive both SSI and SSDI benefits under certain circumstances, known as concurrent benefits. This can help supplement your income and provide additional support.
