My husband is 65 and gets social security and needs to apply for Disability social security. He was forced to retire because he had a bad stroke. If he applies will his check stop or will he get it till approved

Hi,

No, filing for disability benefits (SSDI) wouldn't cause your husband's checks to stop. If he's approved for SSDI his current benefit rate would likely increase somewhat, but he wouldn't be paid both retirement benefits and SSDI.

Best, Jerry
