[QUOTE="ctmom05, post: 354726, member: 2901"] Social Security had told us it was indeed possible to collect both SSDI and SSI payments. I didn't know what conditions needed to be met for that to happen; but it makes sense that it would be when your SSDI payment is not as much as the max payment given by SSI. Social Secutiry had my family member apply for both simultaneously; SSDI was granted. We got the notice really quickly - 7 weeks, but as the rules point out you do not actually begin receiving a check until 5 months down the road. SS wants to make sure that the disabling condition is of sufficient duration. He was not granted any SSI payment for any time period, presumably because he did not meet the income eligibility standards. Thanks for the help folks, I really appreciate it. This is kind of new territory for us and it helps to have friends to refer to for information and their experiences. [/QUOTE]
