No. "SSDI" --- as you stated "SSI" --- is for those who have applied for (some) disability. SSA, applies to those who have reached the age of 65, with no disabilities. Everyone qualifies for SSA when they're 65, regardless of your health. That is my finding, in having both SSDI (SSI) and have SSA.

I may well have misunderstood your post, because you referred to "SSI". And you should have posted 'SSA", and yes it is the same as "social security". SSA is the same as Social Secuity. Downloaded to your bank and placed as a deposit, monthly by the Treasury Department.

If anyone wants to correct my reply, please do so. I so not want to provide false information. Thanks and regards: JIM
