Welfare is funded through taxes, it is not an entitlement of Social Security at all.
SSI is funded through taxes and is also not an entitlement of Social Security.

SSDI is funded through Social Security, and is available ONLY to people who have paid into it through payroll deductions up until the point that they've been approved to receive SSDI benefits.
