Social Security Disability Benefits
The Social Security and Supplemental Security Income disability programs provide assistance to people with disabilities. There are two types of disability benefits; Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI). If you have worked long and recently enough while paying Social Security taxes, you may be eligible for SSDI. Disabled adults and children with limited income and resources without the prior employment earnings may be eligible for SSI. Medical requirements for each program are the same. See the chart below for differences between the two disability programs.
