Many people think Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) are the same, but they’re not, and they serve different purposes:
- SSDI: A federal insurance program based on your work history and the F**A taxes you’ve paid. It provides benefits to people with disabilities who have earned enough work credits over their lifetime.
- SSI: A needs-based program designed for individuals with limited income and resources. It provides financial assistance regardless of work history, focusing on helping those with the greatest financial need.
Understanding these differences is important when applying for benefits. Allsup can help you apply for SSDI or appeal if you’ve been denied.
