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.
Qualifying for disability benefits (SSD or SSI) is a matter of proving one's case through A) strong objective medical evidence and vocational evidence, combined with B) a logical, rational argument for approval that is based on the Social Security Administration's rules and regulations, i.e. administrative requirements.
