Social Security Disability Laws in Wisconsin.
Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) are federal programs administered by the Social Security Administration under the Social Security Act. Wisconsin state law does not change eligibility, benefit amounts, or the adjudication process. Initial disability determinations for Wisconsin claimants are made by the Wisconsin Department of Health Services, Division of Disability Determinations under contract with SSA. Wisconsin supplements SSI with a state payment through DHS.
