Yes, that much I know for a fact, because we looked into both programs
and the amount I would have gotten from SSI was much lower than the
amount I got from SSDI. I know that how much you get from SSDI is
based on how long you worked before becoming disabled, but I don't
remember what the SSI amount is based on.
