The Social Security Administration offers two main programs for people with disabilities: Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI).

In other words, if you worked, these are benefits you have paid for.
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) pays benefits based on financial need and is not based on your prior work history. In most states beneficiaries will automatically be eligible for Medicaid. If your child is approved for benefits their monthly payment amount can vary, but may be supplemented by the state.
