What are the Differences Between SSD and SSI?

RI Social Security Disability Lawyer(SSD) is a federal program that is available for individuals who are unable to work because they are disabled. SSD pays an amount monthly to an individual who has paid enough income tax to qualify for benefits. The person’s doctor needs to agree that the disability will last for at least one year. The process for applying is complicated and therefore speaking with an experienced Social Security attorney is important for your success.

RI Supplemental Security Income Lawyer(SSI) is a federal program that is available for those who do not qualify for SSD or those that even with SSD income do not reach the federal financial standard. In order to qualify for SSI, a person needs to be either age 65 or older, be blind or have a qualifying disability but also the person’s family income needs to be below the financial standard. While SSD availability is based upon how much you have paid into the federal income tax structure, SSI is based upon familial need.
