can i aply for pua benefits while reciving ssi/ssd

Hi,

Receipt of Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA) payments wouldn't have any adverse effect on Social Security disability (SSDI) benefits. However, since Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is needs based, any new income that a person receives could cause their SSI benefits to be reduced or suspended.

My only area of expertise is Social Security benefits, so I don't know whether or not receiving SSDI or SSI would have any bearing on your eligibility for PUA payments.

Best, Jerry
