I am on SSDI but work under the table babysitting for about $600 a month. I lost the babysitting job due to covid. Can I apply for UI/ pandemic unemployment while being on SSDI? and how do I go about doing it?

Hi,

I'm collecting SSD benefits right now and I am thinking of going back to work will the money I pay in to SS in payroll increase my benefit amount over the years of working

Hi,

It's possible that returning to work and paying into Social Security could increase your benefit rate, but only if your new yearly earnings are higher than the amount of your earnings in one or more of the years currently being used to calculate your benefit rate.

I'm collecting SSD benefits right now and in January I turn 66 Witch is my full retirement age will my benefit amount change

Hi,

Hi Larry, I have been on ssi disability since 2011. I am working part time and paying in to SS. My full retirement age is 66 and 4 months. Will my benefit amount increase? If not do I still have to pay into the fund. Thank you.

Hi,

Hi guys I had a question for you guys I suffer from depression and I apply for Social Security but they deny me

Hi,

I am 58, and I have been collecting SSDI since 50. My full retirement age is 67. If I go back to work and stop collecting SSDI, am I eligible to delay my social security retirement benefits to age 70?

Hi,

Yes. If your Social Security disability (SSDI) benefit entitlement is terminated prior to your full retirement age (FRA), you would be free to file for your Social Security retirement benefits whenever you wish.

Does my status drawing SS disability benfits automatically change over to my retirement benefit at age 65 or do I need request the change?

Hi,

Social Security disability (SSDI) benefits automatically convert to regular Social Security retirement benefits when the recipient reaches full retirement age (FRA), not at age 65. No action on your part is required to initiate the conversion.

My son's disability benefits were stopped due to him receiving a large insurance settlement. And until all the money was spent. And saving all receipts to prove that it was all spent. Which was his only income.Then social security would reopen his case by reapplying which he has done on 3/6/20.Do you have any idea what the time frame to reopen his case my be.Thank you

Hi,

Hi Larry,
Currently receiving SSDI for many years and got a part time a yr ago, I’m making under The allowed to make $1,260 and list P/T Job due to Coronavirus.

I'm 56 years old on ssdi been on ssdi for 3 months what age wil they transfer me over to ssi?

Hi,

Just to be clear, SSDI is the abbreviation normally used for Social Security disability benefits. SSI is used as the abbreviation for Supplemental Security Income, which is a needs based benefit administered by Social Security. SSDI benefits would never convert to Supplemental Security Income (SSI), although a person could qualify for both SSDI and SSI if their SSDI rate is very low.
