SSI is for people on social security disability, I am on social security.
Social Security (SS)
Social Security Disability (SSDI)
Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
SSI is a totally separate program. It is “needs based” and does not come from the Social Security trust fund. We still pay for it, just a different way.
No, my husband was on ss for disability, NOT sis. SSI is usually a pretty small amount, but he gets what he would have gotten had he retired at full age.
Not all disabled recipients are on SSI which is for blind or disabled persons on limited income and financial resources. SSDI is Social Security Disability and like SSA is based on your work history.
SSI is for people with low income
SSDI is for people on disability
SS is for people on social security
