Social Security provides more than Retirement benefits:
The two programs offered by the Social Security Administration to assist disabled people are Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Social Security Disability Insurance, also known as SSDI or SSD, provides income to individuals no longer able to work because of a restrictive disability. SSDI does not depend on the recipient’s income level, as it is based solely on work history and the degree of disability.
To qualify for SSDI, it is usually required that you have worked five of the past ten years in a job or jobs where Social Security taxes were withheld. Upon reaching full retirement age, the SSDI payments automatically convert to retirement benefits.
Supplemental Security Income, or SSI, offers monetary assistance to low-income individuals who are at least age 65, blind, and/or disabled. SSI pays cash benefits to supplement the cost of food, clothing, and shelter. Unlike SSDI, you may qualify for SSI benefits even if the work history required for SSDI is lacking.
Workers' compensation is the nation's oldest social insurance program: It was adopted in most states, including California, during the second decade of the 20th century!
