Question:

Can one be on SSDI 63 years old and sign up for unemployment benefits without getting kicked off ssdi

Answer:

  • Since SSDI is an insurance program, unearned income and resources (such as Unemployment Insurance) do not impact SSDI eligibility. You may be eligible to receive both Unemployment Insurance and SSDI at the same time. Unemployment Insurance has no impact on the SSDI benefit amount or eligibility.
