The Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) program is open to individuals with a medically confirmed long-term disability. Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments can be approved for those who also have little to no household income and few financial resources.

Like the Social Security retirement benefit, SSDI payments are based on people’s age and earnings prior to becoming disabled. SSI payments are a flat rate that undergoes cost of living adjustments in most years. SSI payments may be reduced if someone else is providing the disabled person with housing or other financial assistance.
