Hi insTeacher. I was reading your answers for some SSDI and SSI questions. My husband applied for SSDI. He has just recieved his letter from the jusdge that he will make a favoriable decsion without a formal hearing. and thats great, but the very last paragraph says it is for Supplemental Security Income. Why did they change it from SSDI to SSI in his case? Also we have a deaf child that does recieve SSI, will she lose her SSI? I am so confused.
My husband has worked and paid into social security all his life, before he became ill, he worked almost 20 years in a row. Only changed jobs once in that time. He was denied the first time, then he got a lawyer and on the appeal, after it went to the judge, he won. We have not recieved the letter or explanation of benefits yet, but I dont understand the process to get from SSDI to SSI.
