Difference between SSDI and SSI

If you have been working for a certain amount of time and qualify under the Social Security Administration rules, you may be eligible for SSDI if you become disabled. Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) provides benefits to people who are "insured" (they have worked long enough and paid Social Security taxes). Certain members of their family also may be eligible for benefits.

Supplemental Security Income (SSI) provides benefits to people based on financial need. If you are disabled or blind and have limited financial resources, you may be eligible to receive SSI.
