Yes, but earned income may affect the amount a Survivor can receive in benefits. Because the formulas used to calculate survivors' benefits are complex and dependent on many variables, it is important to discuss the matter directly with the Social Security Administration.

You can speak with a Social Security Representative by calling 1-800-772-1213 Monday through Friday between the hours of 7:00 am and 7:00 pm. This is an automated information line, so be prepared to jump through some hoops before you reach a live representative.

Can you draw as much money at 65 on Social Security retirement as on disability?

Social Security disability benefits are typically lower than retirement benefits because they are calculated on the basis of fewer years of income. When a disabled worker reaches full retirement age, his or her benefits automatically convert from disability to retirement income at the same rate. There is no windfall payment for disability.


Can you draw a retirement and disability at the same time?

Depending on your disability insurance policy, you can get disability benefits to age 65, 67, 70 or Lifetime. Some policies have limited benefits for 2, 5 or 10 years. Check your schedule of benefits in your disability insurance policy, or contact an experienced agent who can find your best options available.

Will moving to another state affect your disability benefits?

Your individual disability insurance policy is portable and benefits will not be affected by moving to a different state. If you have disability insurance through your employer, and move in a new state while working for the same employer, benefits will not be changed. However, if you leave your employer, you may lose the disability insurance benefits through a group DI policy. If you are currently disabled and are receiving disability benefits from the state, you will have to check with the new state regulations on social security DI; If you are receiving benefits through a personal/ individual insurance policy from an insurance company, then benefits are not going to be affected by the state of residence.

Can you receive disability benefits from a job and from the IRS at the same time?

The IRS doesn't pay disability benefits; they collect taxes. You may or may not be able to collect disability benefits from a private insurance policy and the Social Security Administration at the same time, but if you can, it's likely the income from one would be reduced to offset some or all of the income from the other. Check your insurance policy or consult with an insurance agent for more information.

Can you draw Social Security Disability and Social Security?

No. Someone cannot receive both Social Security retirement and disability benefits at the same time. Social Security Disability Insurance provides monthly benefits to individuals who are under full retirement age (age 65 and/ or older) and who can no longer work because of a severe disability. The impairment must be expected to last for more than 12 months.

Can you receive disability from your job and disability from social security at the same time?

Yes, it is very common for disability insurance plans to include a clause for social security disability, meaning the insurance company will pay a portion of the monthly benefit, expecting that you would apply for social security benefits to pay for the "Supplemental Social Security benefits". In the event you get declined by Social Security, then the insurance company would cover the additional supplemental benefits. Employer group plans as well as individual disability insurance plans can include that clause.


When can you draw social secruity if you were born in 1958?

Social Security Disability (SSDI) benefits automatically convert to retirement benefits at the same rate of pay when the person reaches full retirement age. There is no increase in benefits or additional payment at retirement, only a change in administrative status and loss of earned-income restrictions. For people born before 1943, full retirement age is 65; for those born between 1943 and 1954, the age is 66; for those born between 1955 and 1960 and later, the age gradually increases to 67.
