Eligibility Requirements for the $3,822 SSDI Payment
To qualify for the maximum payment, applicants must meet specific SSA guidelines. Here are the primary eligibility criteria:
- Residency: Recipients must reside in the United States.
- Age and Disability: The program generally supports disabled individuals of all ages. For seniors, eligibility starts at age 65 with a qualifying disability or if retired.
- Employment History: Applicants must have a work history that includes payroll contributions to Social Security for at least ten years.
- Valid Social Security Number: A Social Security number with current information is required for application.
Can You Receive Both SSDI and SSI?
While some recipients may qualify for both SSDI and SSI, the requirements for each program are distinct:
- SSDI: Focuses on disability benefits for those with a qualifying work history.
- SSI: Provides income support to low-income individuals and families, based on need.
- Simultaneous Benefits: Occasionally, calendar irregularities may allow for additional SSI payments within a single month, but receiving SSDI doesn’t guarantee SSI eligibility.
