and both require the same rigorous process of proving disability through medical documentation and often going before a judge, but SSDI is a program for people with sufficient work credits earned and SSI is a program for people who have not been able to earn enough work credits throughout their life to qualify. For SSI, this may include persons who have been disabled from a young age. SSI pays at this point in time around $900 per month, I believe. SSDI payments are dependent on how much a person earned while they were working and are generally higher.
