Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between SSA and SSI?

SSA is the agency itself. SSI, Supplemental Security Income, is one benefit programme the agency runs, paying people with very low income and resources who are aged, blind or disabled.

What is the difference between SSI and SSDI?

SSDI is based on your own work record and the Social Security taxes you have paid. SSI is needs-based and does not require a work history. Both are administered by the SSA and some people qualify for both.
