If you receive $1,100 per month in SSDI payments, you would only receive $1,300 per month from the FERS program due to the amount you are collecting from the SSA. This would still total $2,400 per month. You would just be getting a portion of that $2,400 from FERS and a portion from SSDI. After the first 12 months of your disability you will receive 40 percent of your 3-year-average high salary minus 60 percent of whatever you receive in SSDI benefits.
Your initial application for Social Security Disability benefits, whether filing for SSDI or SSI, is completed online via Social Securityâs website. Once you have submitted the application, it can take up to 30 days for Social Security to acknowledge and process your information. Keep in mind, this is a general time frame. As with each part of the disability process, Social Security is not confined to time limits.
