SSI and SSDI Benefits: Learning the Basics
Because Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) requirements are based on strict criteria, it is critical you speak with an attorney. We are familiar with the requirements and understand what must be proven in order to meet qualifications. Some of the fundamental differences between the two programs include:
- SSI: Eligibility is based on a single earners monthly income or the combined income of a married couple. If you make more than $2,000 per month ($3,000 for a couple) you will likely not qualify for SSI.
- SSDI: These benefits are paid for through insurance that you have paid over the years working. If you meet the SSDI requirements, you will receive a monthly payment. Under this program, you cannot continue to work.
