What’s the Difference Between Social Security Disability and Supplemental Security Income?

Understanding the difference between Social Security Disability (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income can be helpful in determining if you qualify for financial assistance.

Social Security Disability

SSDI benefits are only available to those who qualify as disabled in accordance with the Social Security Administration’s definition and who have paid into the social security system.

Supplemental Security Income

Supplemental Security Income, however, is available to those who meet the requirements and have little to no income.

Because SSI and SSDI are two separate programs you may be eligible for both. Our lawyer are well-versed in the qualifications and requirements for each program and can help you better understand what benefits you may qualify for.
