Supplemental Security Income and Disability: The Basics
- The Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program pays benefits to disabled adults and children who have limited income.
- The Social Security Disability Insurance program (SSDI) pays benefits to you and certain family members if you worked long enough
and paid Social Security taxes.
- Your adult child also may qualify for SSDI benefits based on your work record if the disability started before age 22.
- SSI benefits also are payable to people 65 and older without disabilities who meet the financial limits.
- In most cases, if you currently earn more than $980 a month at work, you usually cannot be considered disabled by the Social Security
Office.
