SSI and SSDI Concurrent Benefits

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

My disabled son has been receiving SSI. I He's also now eligible for SSDI based on his mothers recent retirement and his benefit is calculated based on her SS earnings. My question is this: will his SSDI monthly benefit be in addition to his SSI monthly benefit or will one offset the other?

Hi there,
If your child's SSDI benefit is more than $733 a month, then he would not be eligible for SSI benefits as the federal benefit limit for SSI is $733 for individuals.

My dad was receiving a SS check for a very low amount , then he had a stroke and has been in a nursing home for 2 years. He does not have use of his right arm and leg. Would he qualify for disability SS , so he could move out on his own?

Hi Michelle,
He may be eligible for benefits based on his income and financial resources, called SSI. It may be a good idea to reach out to your local SSA office regarding this.

I am already receiving benefits but only medical. They go by my husband's wages and he says we're making to much for me to receive money. My husband totaled our car that he needs for work . He could not wait so he leased a car. I want him to look for a car and get rid of this lease. Is there any help out there to help us out of this hole and for me to get money for myself for clothes and shoes? If I contact SS office will our hardship qualify for some help?

Hi Carol,
I apologize I'm a little confused--you're currently on health insurance but receive no monthly benefits? It's very, very rare for the SSA to grant hardship payments. It typically only happens if you're entitled to an SSI back payment in six months but need the payment immediately to pay for medical bills.

I am receiving 100i% va service connected disability and ssi...
I am told I can also receive ssdi...my question is:

If I apply for ssdi what happens if I get it. I assume my ssi would be converted to ssdi: and if it is larger than my ssi...I would get the larger amount.

Hi there,
if you are eligible for SSDI, you may become ineligible for SSI benefits as SSDI is based on work record and SSI is based on income.

Hi there,
SSI may count your SSDI benefits as income, most likely they would take into account any obligations that you have such as child support.
