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?

I was on SSD since 2004. I am now 66 and receive SSI. Why are these amounts the exact same? Nothing changed when they changed me automatically over to SSI. Do you know if they always remain the same ? I read above that one is do to work history ad one is based on income.

Hi there,
If you receive retirement benefits, then the amount would be the same as what you received for SSDI. SSI and retirement benefits are not the same.

I won partial favorable back in September. Socail security office put denied. I called them in November they see their mistake for putting denied and said they have fixed their mistake.I've been calling ss ofiice so much. Felt as they were giving me the run around with all these different numbers I had to call. Went to ss office twice.They told me to apply for ssi because I didn't work enough before I became disabled.They said I would get 300 for disabilty.They say my disabilty will start 6-2016.I haven't received any payment from ssdi. But I did receive ssi amunt 750 a month.Just received award letter for ssdi a week ago.When will I get ssdi and back pay from ssdi.Will ss combined ssi and ssdi together.

Hi there,
I'm so sorry to hear that! It seems odd that you haven't received your SSDI by now. I'd consider calling the SSA again or checking your My SSA account to see if you're enrolled on SSDI.

I have two sons that became disabled before the age of 22. Both receive SSI as both did not work enough quarters to receive ssid. But now thier father has been awarded ssid due to an accident wondering will each of the boys continue to receive SSI. And also recieve an amount ssid? .also their Father was awarded back pay. Back to 2016. The two now are told they would not receive any type of back pay.

Thank you

Hi There,

Because your son's are 22, they will be receiving SSI based on their own income limits, so your husband's benefits should not impact them. But because they are over age 18, they cannot receive auxiliary benefits based on your husband's SSDI.
