Q: What is the difference between SSI and SSDI? A: SSI (Supplemental Security Income) and SSDI (Social security disability Insurance) are two different benefit programs that are offered to individuals who qualify as disabled. Those who have contributed to social security during their work history and have accumulated enough credits, are eligible for SSDI. How long you have been employed, your income record and accumulated work credits are all factored into your qualification to receive SSDI benefits. A credit is earned roughly every quarter of the year a person works and earns at least a minimum amount of income (established each year by Social Security). You are usually eligible for SSDI if you have earned 20 credits out of the past 40 quarters.
