SSDI is if you have enough work credits. SSI is for those who do not have enough work credits.

[quote]If you don't qualify for disability because you don't have enough work credits, then how are you supposed to get qualified as disabled?
---> It's called SSI
I don't have enough work credits, as I have been disabled a long time and unable to work.
---->It is SSI
So I don't qualifty for S.S., what other forms of proof would be acceptable to a judge?
I have a disability placard for my atuo, my doctor filled out nessesary paper work, is that acceptable? [/quote]
--No

So we are all talking about the same thing.....
Social Security is given when you are over 65 and worked your quarters paid from soc sec tax)
SSDI is given when you are disabled and have worked your quarters (paid from soc sec tax )
SSI is given when you are over 65, blind, or disabled and have little or no income (paid from regular taxes)
Slave...if you don't qualify for SSDI, it's because you never worked your quarters or have not been disabled by the government. If you haven't worked in years because of your disability....you should have applied within a few years of the onset of your disability

She should have applied immediately if it was a bad problem. In reality, SSI is plain out welfare. The definitions of disability are easier to meet. SSI is also a co-program meaning both the state and federal government are involved where in SSDI only the federal government is for the most part involved. Also, if you are on SSI, you qualify for almost every state program there is, where that is not true for SSDI. Net net it's almost better to be on SSI than SSDI because of the benefits you receive in conjunction with the state.

They can work and make up to something like $950 a month or something like that (which I think is wrong. If you are disabled, you are. End of story).
