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.
(This durational requirement means that while severe back conditions can qualify for Social Security disability or SSI, wrist or ankle sprains seldom qualify as disabling conditions.) Substantial Work. To be considered a disabled person for Social Security purposes, a disability applicant must be unable to perform substantial work. Generally, this means working and earning above a certain amount; in 2018, this means making over $1,180 per month.
