Can A Person Be Eligible For Both SSD And SSI Benefits?

Can a person be eligible for both SSD and SSI benefits? Hi I’m Youssef Khanachet and I’m an attorney at Farah and Farah. SSD which stands for social security disability insurance and SSI which stands for supplemental security income are programs administered by the social security administration to provide monthly income benefits to individuals that meet social security’s definition of disability. Individuals can be eligible for both SSD and SSI benefits and these are called concurrent benefits.

In order to qualify for both the individual would have to have a work history as well as limited income and resources. If you have any questions regarding whether or not you’re eligible to receive both SS and SSI benefits please call us at Farah and Farah. We’re here to help.
