Q: What is the difference between Social Security disability and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) disability?

A: The Social Security Administration is responsible for two major programs that provide benefits based on disabilities.

They are Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), which is based on previous work under Social Security, and Supplemental Security Income (SSI), which is based on need.

SSDI is financed with Social Security taxes paid by workers, employers and self-employed persons. SSI payments are paid from general revenues.
