[QUOTE="Lil, post: 670952, member: 17309"] Just so people know, SSI (Supplemental Security Income) is income-based. It is for people who's prior earnings are not sufficient for them to receive SSDI (Social Security Disability Income). SSDI can only be received by people who have worked a sufficient amount. I am unsure of the number of quarters of work required, but it is something you have paid into, just like Social Security retirement benefits. Therefore, just like standard old-age Social Security, people who have had high earnings will receive more SSDI than people who worked for low wages. SSI can be received by anyone who is disabled who has a low enough income level, including children and adults who have never held a job. I do not know what level of income is allowed in order to receive it, but they do look at household income. So a married woman who is disabled, but has a husband who has a good income, may not be eligible for SSI, while a disabled married woman who has paid into Social Security thru employment can draw SSDI regardless of the amount of income her husband has. A previously low-wage person who gets only a small SSDI check may also receive a SSI check. I believe the disability requirements are the same. [/QUOTE]
