question Can I Receive Both SSDI and SSI Due to Inconsistent Employment?

[KnightKombat]

It appears I need to apply for SSDI because my employment is inconsistent, and I will struggle to manage without an additional income source or SSDI. Can one receive both SSDI and SSI?

If you have a 100% VA disability rating, you definitely won't qualify for SSI.

If your SSDI benefit is below the monthly maximum, you're eligible for concurrent SSDI and SSI benefits. However, your household income and assets must be minimal to be eligible for SSI too.

I would advise you to consult with a Social Security attorney as each person's circumstances are unique. Good luck!

I've heard that hiring Social Security attorneys can be costly.

You should compare different attorneys to find the best one for your interests and make sure that they are only paid upon winning your case, ensuring no upfront costs for you.
