SHOULD I APPLY FOR SUPPLEMENTAL SECURITY INCOME (“SSI”) OR FOR SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY (“SSDI”) BENEFITS?
As a rule of thumb, applying for SSI will be considered an application for any program for which you may be eligible under the Social Security number used. As such, if you apply for SSI and forget to apply for SSDI, the application date for the SSI will be considered a protective filing date. However, it is better/safer to apply for both programs.
