Federal Disability Insurance
– Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) pays benefits to you and certain members of your family if you are "insured," meaning that you worked long enough and paid Social Security taxes. For information and to apply for SSDI, go to their website at http://www.ssa.gov/dibplan/dapply.htm
– Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is a federal income supplement program funded by general tax revenues (not Social Security taxes). It is designed to help aged, blind, and disabled people, who are little or no income. It provides cash to meet basic needs for food, clothing, and shelter.
