1. SSDI (Social Secu- Section 404 of 20 CFR specifically outlines the regulations regarding
Social Security
rity Disability Disability Insurance aka Title II aka Disability Insurance Benefits - all
In-surance) of these are synonymous and are used interchangeably to describe
this program. It's a good idea to read the table of contents to 20 CFR
404 so you can get a better understanding of which subparts discuss
which topic regarding Social Security Disability Insurance.
Unlike SSI eligibility, SSDI eligibility is based on the work history of the
applicant, not resource based. After an applicant applies, SSA must make
sure they meet the following technical requirements:
1. Is the applicant under full retirement age (66)?
2. Is the applicant fully insured?
3. Is the applicant insured for disability?
Also, unlike SSI, SSDI benefits can be paid to the disabled worker's
family in some cases. This is called auxiliary benefits and can be paid to
dependent children under the age of 18 or spouse (or divorced spouse if
married for 10 years) under the age of 62 who has joint care of the
children.
2. SSI The medical definition of disability for adults is exactly the same for both
SSDI and SSI. You'll see mirror images of many of these provisions under
20 CFR 404 for SSDI 20 CFR 416 for SSI. In many places the regulations
read word for word, exactly the same.
One major ditterence is that under SSI, there is no work requirement;
therefore, children can qualify as disabled. This is described in 20 CFR
416.906. Also, there's no retroactivity for an SSI claimant, meaning the
claimant cannot be eligible for benefits any earlier than the date the claim
is filed. Another ditterence between the two programs is that for SSI there
are very strict income and resource provision, whereas under SSDI there
are insured status provisions.
