Attorneys for social security disability Discussion of the basics
The question we probably hear more than any other is "How are Social security disability and Supplemental Security Income different? The truth is, there is a lot of difference between them. Supplemental Security Income is commonly referred to as SSI, and Social Security Disability is referred to by the initials SSD. In reality, the only concept these two programs have in common is that they were both created for people with disabilities. Supplemental Security Income is for those disabled persons who have either never been employed and earned money, or have not been employed enough total time to make them eligible for Social Security Disability. This is a wide group, including children, mothers or fathers who stay at home, or people who worked before they were disabled, but did not pay enough into Social Security to qualify them for SSD benefits.
