I have been on SSDI and SSI for years recently due to my age of 66 it says it has been converted to retirement benefits I'm worried will I lose any part of my income I have two cards one for SSI and the other for SSDI do I need to worry ty

Hi. No. Conversion of your Social Security disability (SSDI) benefits to regular Social Security retirement benefits when you reach full retirement age (FRA) won't change your benefit rate, nor will it cause any change to your Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments.

Do royalties Affect Social Security Disability Benefits?

Hi. Possibly, but probably not if the work that was done to produce the royalties was performed prior to your Social Security disability onset date. For example, say that a person wrote and sold a book to a publisher prior to becoming disabled. Assuming that the author isn't actively involved in promoting or selling the book at any point after his or her disability began, royalties received after that time could be excluded from counting as earnings Social Security disability benefit purposes.

What is involved with linking a cryptocurrency with my bank account? What are the details of involvement to my SSDI? If used to just transfer funds?

Another question on cryptocurrency and how it could effect my ssdi.Other options besides bank account.Pay pal,debit card,wire transfer.These need to be reported if any earned from the crypto and, or sociol security will discover without reporting?I'm just curious how it works.Dont want any risks.Thank you so much for being here.

Iv been on SSD since 2015& turning 62 July 2021. My current SSD is 2,168 per month& have been able to work within the guidelines making 15,000 pre year free lance remotely Its very difficult to live on this amount..leaving in Seattle. My quest when I turn 62 can earn more without being penalized?

My sister is on social security disability because she had a stroke. She needs to sell her home and move here from missouri so we can take care of her. We eventually will find her a house to buy, but will net about $93,000 off the house that will be in the bank till we find a house. Will she loose her social security disability and Medicade?

I am on disability and would like the effective date when I went on it.
Thank you

Hi. Unless you have your initial award letter you'll need to call Social Security at 800-772-1213 to get that information.

I'm currently receiving disability and when it was figured it was only figured with my maiden name and not 20 years of my work history of my married name is there anything I can do about that when married my husband and I had a construction business so that was my main source of income for 20 years he is currently on disability and receive double the amount I receive. Also Larry when they figured it they figured the time.

I'm 32 years old and have been on ssdi since my mid 20s. I've never worked a day in my life. I'm not able to work because I have epilepsy and $800 a month is very hard to live on. I've had epilepsy since I was in 7th grade. I want to make more money, but I don't want to jeopardize losing my SSDI. There's no way I could afford the hospital bills and my medications. Is it true that I can invest or buy cryptocurrency without risking my ssdi? Thanks alot for your time and any input is much appreciated.

(1) If you are statutorily blind and receive SSDI, where in SSA's POMS does it state that once approved a statutorily blind person can earn more than someone who is otherwise determined to be disabled and entitled to SSDI? I cannot find anywhere that is states this. (2) SGA seems to be only that earned prior to eligibility. At this time an income limie on SSDI recipients (seems to be) is $940 while receiving SSDI and there seems to be no provision for a statutorily blind person to be allowed to earn more. Please clarify if I am wrong.

When receiving ssid and you reach the age of 62 is it mandatory that you switch to retirement

Hi. If by SSID you're referring to Social Security disability (SSDI) benefits, then the answer to your question is no. No action is required when you reach age 62 if you're drawing SSDI benefits. SSDI benefits automatically convert to regular Social Security retirement benefits at the same rate when you the recipient reaches their full retirement age (FRA).
