The difference is that SSI income is what they give you, from what you have paid into Social Security over your lifetime by working, or other means, And SSDI income is what they automatically give you if you are hurt, or have a disability.
Hope that answered your question!!

SSI is disabilty payments that someone has not earned, like a disabled child, or a person with a mental defect that has never been employed.
SSDI is disability payments based on your earnings. You have to be disabled for more than 6 months before you can apply and you must be determined that you will be disabled for more than a year.
