Guest guest Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 In order to establish clarity on this thread: SSA is retirement income for individuals who have worked and contributed to the Social Security Trust Fund. We see it on our check stubs denoted as FICA. Attaining a prescribed age qualifies you to apply. Information on that program can be found at: http://www.ssa.gov SSD and SSI are programs intended for people who are either 65 or older, are disabled, or blind. SSD (Social Security Disability) is for individuals who contributed to the SS Trust Fund but can no longer work because of a disability. SSI is administered by the Social Security system but has nothing to do with the trust fund supported SSA and SSD. SSI money comes from the Treasury general fund. More information on the disability programs is at: http://www.ssa.gov/disability/ and http://www.ssa.gov/pubs/11000.html#part1 I hope this clears up some things I perhaps did not make clear in an earlier post.
