The money that you can receive on Social Security benefits is different for everybody, but it is based on your earnings and income, assets, and resources. The difference between Social Security Disability Insurance and Supplemental Security Income is that SSDI or Social Security Disability Insurance is based off your work history. So it is dependent on your earnings when it comes to getting a monthly benefit. And Supplemental Security is based on a needs base, so you wouldn’t have to work and pay into the system. So that income is different when you get approved, and it’s based off the state income base. It’s different from your work and earnings that you would get rewarded for.
