What does SSDI stand for?

• A. Supplemental Security Income
• B. Social Security Disability Insurance
• C. Social Security Insurance
• D. Social Security Disability Program

Answer: (B)

SSDI stands for Social Security Disability Insurance. This program, run by the Social Security Administration, provides benefits to workers who have paid into Social Security through payroll taxes and have a qualifying disability. It is funded by earned work credits and continues as long as the person remains disabled and meets other eligibility rules. It differs from Supplemental Security Income, which is needs-based and not tied to work history, and from terms like Social Security Insurance or Social Security Disability Program, which are not the official name of this program.
