SSDI is not SSI, which is the topic of discussion.

You're sounding like the old immigrants who came here and didn't work
here a day in their life but got supplemental social security and sat
around claiming it was social security. NOPE. The two programs are
completely different. Children can be on SSDI, but the waiting period
to qualify for medicare disability insurance benefits for people under
age 65 is 24 months unless the disability is from end stage renal
disease or Lou Gehrig’s Disease.
