Social Security Disability Benefit Insurance

We pay Social Security taxes to qualify for these two programs: the Social Security Disability Benefit Insurance program and the Supplemental Security Income Benefit Insurance program. The medical requirements for disability payments are the same under both programs and a person's disability is determined by the same process.

While disability benefits from Social Security are based on prior work under Social Security, SSI benefits payments are made on the basis of financial need. And there are other differences in the eligibility rules for the two programs.

Social Security disability benefit insurance is wage replacement income for individuals who have paid FICA taxes that meet Social Security's rules for disability. This program is financed with Social Security taxes paid by workers, employers, and self-employed persons.

Further, SSDI provides a variety of benefits to family members when a primary wage earner becomes disabled or dies. These financial supports are payable to disabled workers, widows, widowers, and children or adults disabled since childhood who are otherwise eligible.

Also, SSDI monthly benefit amounts are based on your lifetime average earnings. Annual adjustments, called indexing, are made to account for cost-of-living modifications or increases. The amount of your disability benefits may be reduced due to Workers' Compensation payments and/or other public disability benefits payments, such as State Disability Insurance.
