Understanding The Difference Between SSDI And Supplemental Security Income

As a Social Security Disability law firm, we at Pitts & Zanaty, L.L.C., encounter many clients who ask us about the difference between Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI). We have provided a brief outline of SSDI and SSI benefits below. For additional information about SSI or SSDI, contact an SSI attorney at our firm. We help clients nationwide from offices throughout Alabama.

What Is Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI)?

SSDI is for people who do not work or who have severely limited work capacity. People eligible for SSDI will typically have a physical disability or mental disability that limits their ability to work.

What Is Supplemental Security Income (SSI)?

SSI is for people who work but have limited income and limited resources. To be eligible to receive Supplemental Security Income, a person must not have resources that exceed $2,000; there are a few exceptions including a home and car of limited value.
