The major difference is that SSI determination is based on age/disability and limited income and resources, whereas SSDI determination is based on disability and work credits. In addition, in most states, an SSI recipient will automatically qualify for health care coverage through Medicaid.

There are four basic types of benefits based on the person receiving them. The types are retirement, disability, survivors and supplemental benefits.

The most an individual who files a claim for Social Security retirement benefits in 2021 can receive per month is: $3,895 for someone who files at age 70. $3,148 for someone who files at full retirement age (currently 66 and 2 months). $2,324 for someone who files at 62.

Social Security is part of the retirement plan for almost every American worker. It provides replacement income for qualified retirees and their families.

The extra payment compensates those Social Security beneficiaries who were affected by the error for any shortfall they experienced between January 2000 and July 2001, when the payments will be made.

Assuming you already receive Social Security benefits via direct deposit, your EIP will be sent to that same bank account. An overpayment can occur for several reasons, including a change in your living situation or marital status, or simply a miscalculation or other error on Social Security’s part.

Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) is a social insurance program under which workers earn coverage for benefits, by working and paying Social Security taxes on their earnings. For those who can no longer work due to a disability, our disability program is there to replace some of their lost income.

The Office of Income Security Programs (TMB) provides SSA-wide leadership and direction to the development, coordination and promulgation of Retirement and Survivors Insurance (RSI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) policies and procedures.

The Office develops and evaluates demonstrations and studies that support the policy development of SSA. The Office works with the Department of Treasury on issues of policy relating to the Federal Insurance Contributions Act and the Self-Employment Contributions Act, including such matters as definition of wages and implementation of laws.

Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is a Federal income supplement program funded by general tax revenues ( not Social Security taxes): It provides cash to meet basic needs for food, clothing, and shelter.

These programs provide assistance to people with disabilities. While both programs are different in many ways, the Social Security Administration administers them only to persons who have a disability and meet medical and financial criteria.
