Although you can receive benefits from both SSDI and SSI at the same time, the benefits you receive under SSDI will count against your income limits. Some of your income is not counted, such as the first $20 of income you receive each month, the first $65 you earn, and half the amount you earn over $65. Food stamps are not counted and neither is shelter you receive from a nonprofit organization. Home energy assistance is also not generally counted as income. The SSA will count part of your spouseâs income and resources when determining your eligibility for Social Security disability benefits. If you are not a citizen, all of your spouseâs income and resources are counted against your income limit.
