Supplemental Security Income (SSI) provides monthly payments to people with disabilities and older adults who have little or no income or resources. SSI eligibility automatically qualifies NJ residents for Medicaid.
Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) provides monthly payments to people with a disability that stops or limits their ability to work. Some individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) become eligible for Social Security benefits based upon the retirement, disability, or death of a parent.
