SSDI is a program that pays benefits to people who are disabled and have worked long enough and paid Social Security taxes.
SSI is a program that pays benefits to people with limited income and resources who are disabled or blind.

To be eligible for SSDI, you must meet the following requirements:

Your disability must be expected to last at least 12 months or result in death.

To be eligible for SSI, you must meet the following requirements:

You must be disabled or blind.

The amount of benefits you receive from SSDI or SSI depends on your earnings history and your financial situation. You may also be eligible for Medicare benefits if you are receiving SSDI benefits.

To apply for SSDI or SSI, you can visit your local Social Security office or apply online. You will need to provide information about your work history, your medical condition, and your financial situation. The Social Security Administration will review your application and make a decision about whether you are eligible for benefits.

If you are denied benefits, you can appeal the decision. You have 60 days to file an appeal. The Social Security Administration will review your appeal and make a final decision.

If you have any questions about SSDI or SSI benefits, you should contact your local Social Security office."
