Can you get social security and social security diability at the same time?

Yes. However, you would have to work a certain amount of time. I have only worked 6 years, but receive both, because I accumulated enough credits. So, I now am on SSI and SSDI and I still work.

You can apply for Social Security retirement at 62. I know that when you are 65, If your SS falls below a baseline your SSI will make up the difference. For example, if your SS retirement is $500 a month, the SSI will add to it to reach a baseline poverty level set by the county you live in. I don't know if this rule applies to people who take their SS retirement at 62. Check with your welfare office where you applied for the SSI.

You are only eligible for SS benefits if you worked and paid into it for at least 10 years. Since you are receiving SSI,I assume you didn't have enough work credits to receive disability from SS. If that is the case,you will not receive SS benefits when you turn 62.

Your question is very confusing. You say that you are receiving SSDI in your question heading and then say you are getting SSI in the body of your question.

SSDI and SSI are NOT the same thing. SSDI is a Social Security benefit paid to totally and permanently disabled workers who are less than retirement age. If you have sufficient work history of wages subject to Social Security taxes, you are eligible for SSDI if you become totally and permanently disabled.

SSI is a needs-based entitlement for disabled individuals or retirees who have insufficient wages subject to SS taxes to qualify for Social Security benefits, or whose SS benefits and other income calculate out at less than the SSI benefit amount. Although SSI is administered by the Social Security Administration, it is NOT Social Security but a form of Federal welfare assistance.

If you are less than retirement age and are disabled, you qualify for either SSDI or SSI, never both. You get whichever pays the most. Once you reach retirement age, your SSI or SSDI would convert to Social Security Retirement if you had sufficient earnings to qualify. You need at least 10 years of earnings subject to SS taxes to be eligible for Social Security Retirement.

Assuming that you have enough wages to qualify for SSDI now and SSR when you reach retirement age you will be converted to SSR as soon as you are eligible for SSR benefits if the SSR benefits are higher. In nearly all cases you will receive higher benefits under SSR than SSDI once you reach full retirement age. Between age 62 and full retirement age, if your SSDI is higher than the SSR at that age you can stay on SSDI until reaching full retirement age or until your SSR benefits are higher than your SSDI benefits, assuming that you remain eligible for SSDI the whole time.

once you persist with for SSI, the quantity you get is in line with who're your dependents on your substantial different and toddlers so he would not get funds for his different new child by way of fact the new child lives someplace else. His ex-spouse might desire to have the potential to get SSI for herself and the new child. SSD is like retirement social protection and if so he might obtain extra reward for the new child if the new child lives with him or if he has to pay new child help, his SSD may be linked. in basic terms SSI won't be in a position to be linked by using any government corporation.

No. Disability is for working age people.

If Social Security tanks then you will probably be stuck on disability unless they reevaluate and retrain the "disabled" like they should.
