Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) are both federal programs that provide cash payments to people who meet the federal definition of disabled.. But the similarities between the two programs end there. Here are the three main differences between them. SSI Is a Means-Tested Program, SSDI Is an Entitlement Program. Although both SSI and SSDI are administered by the Social Security Administration, the two programs have vastly different financial requirements.
The two programs administered by SSA -- Social Security disability (SSD) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) -- have the same medical disability qualifications. Any person who files for disability must go through the same medical disability process to be found medically disabled for disability benefits.he SSI disability program has a program for disabled children as well (All disability claims for minor-age disabled children are taken through SSI). SSI Eligibility requirements for SSI disability involve resource (resource is a term for assets that affect SSI) and income limits.
