SSDI stands for Social Security Disability Insurance, one of the disability programs administered by the Social Security Administration. You qualify for SSDI by working and paying enough Social Security taxes to receive benefits. The amount of your monthly benefit payments are based on your previous earnings.
It is typically considered a better benefit than Supplemental Security Income (SSI) because you may receive more monthly benefits. However, some individuals may be eligible for SSI and SSDI benefits. You may also qualify for Medicare in addition to/or instead of Medicaid.
