Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
The Social Security and Supplemental Security Income disability programs are the largest of several federal programs that provide assistance to people with disabilities. While these two programs are different in many ways, both are administered by the Social Security Administration and only individuals who have a disability (such as a psychiatric condition) and meet medical criteria may qualify for benefits under either program. Many mental health centers offer benefits counseling to help determine benefit eligibility and to help in the application for benefits, and to advise on how (if at all) working might affect benefits.
