SSDI/SSI and Medicare: Understanding Your Disability Benefits

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Can I receive both SSDI and SSI at the same time?

Yes — this is called concurrent benefits, and it's available to individuals who qualify for SSDI but also have very low income and resources.

2. When will I get Medicare after SSDI approval?

You typically become eligible for Medicare 24 months after your SSDI benefits begin, not from the application date.

3. Does SSI include Medi-Cal?

Yes. If you qualify for SSI in California, you are usually automatically enrolled in Medi-Cal for healthcare coverage.

4. Can I work while receiving SSDI or SSI?

In some cases, yes — but there are strict earning limits. We’ll help you understand your options and avoid losing benefits.
