The
Social Security Administration’s (SSA’s) SSI
program experienced tremendous growth of children with disabilities
under the age of 18, swelling to around 1 million in 1996.
Changes to the law enacted during 1996 have reduced that
number
somewhat by removing about 100,000 children with less disabling
conditions from the SSI roles. All those remaining on SSI,
however, and those first qualifying at age 18 or later as
adults with disabilities, face a potential lifetime of poverty.

The SSI program is a means-tested program providing monthly
cash income to low-income persons with limited resources on
the basis of age and on the basis of blindness and disability
for children and adults. The SSI program is funded out of
the general revenues of the Treasury. Children who qualify
for SSI often will qualify for Medicaid coverage in their
state.
- SSA - The SSDI Program
www.ssa.gov/work/ResourcesToolkit/workincentives.html#ssdi
Title II of the Social Security Act establishes the Social
Security Disability Insurance Program (SSDI). SSDI is a
program
of Federal disability insurance benefits for workers who
have contributed to the Social Security trust funds and
meet the
disability standard or become a blind individual before
retirement age. Section 202(d) of the Social Security Act
also establishes
the adult disabled child program which authorizes disability
insurance payments to surviving children of retired, deceased
or workers with disabilities who were eligible to receive
Social Security benefits, if the child has a permanent
disability
originating before age 22.
