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 Social Security Administration (SSA) does not assume that you will be permanently disabled when you are granted Social Security Disability (SSD) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) disability benefits. Many of the conditions that prevent Social Security recipients from working can be expected to improve with time.ccordingly, the SSA periodically reviews the case of Social Security disability recipients to determine whether they are still unable to work and therefore still considered disabled. This process is called a  continuing disability review , or CDR.
