Is entitlement a good thing?
Entitlement has gotten a bad rap. But entitlement in and of itself isn’t so bad. Entitlement is simply the belief that you deserve something.

Is disability an entitlement program?
The major distinction between SSI and SSDI is that SSI is a “needs-based program” and SSDI is an “entitlement program.” SSI is a monthly stipend provided to elderly, blind, or disabled persons based on financial need. SSDI, on the other hand, has no income or asset limits.
Can you own property and be on disability?
Yes, you can own a home and qualify for disability, but the exact rules differ depending on which disability program you’re applying for. The Social Security Administration (SSA) administers two programs: SSD (or SSDI, Social Security disability insurance) and SSI (Supplemental Security Income).
How much money can a person on SSDI have in the bank?
Because SSDI is this type of benefit, a person’s assets have nothing to do with their potential eligibility to draw and collect SSDI. In other words, whether you have $50 or $50,000 in the bank makes no difference to the SSA. SSI disability is different in this regard. SSI is a need-based program.
