The main difference between Social Security Disability ( SSD , or SSDI ) and Supplemental Security Income ( SSI ) is the fact that SSD is available to workers who have accumulated a sufficient number of work credits , while SSI disability benefits are available to low-income individuals who have either never worked or who haven't earned enough work ...
If you are approved for Supplemental Security Income disability, instead of SSD (social security disability), there are no monthly monetary benefits payable to your spouse or your children.
