Will my husband's military retirement and military disability affect Mt eligibilty for ssi? My husband is planning to apply for his ssdi, will that also affect My eligibilty for ssi?
Hi. My answer assumes that by SSI you're referring to Supplemental Security Income, not Social Security benefits. Supplemental Security Income, or SSI, is a needs based benefit administered by the Social Security Administration.
In that case, then assuming that you reside with your husband then any any benefits that he receives may affect either your eligibility for SSI benefits or your SSI benefit amount. The income and assets of a living-with spouse are considered when evaluating whether or not a person meets the requirements for SSI benefits.
