I am 52 years old and have been disabled for 8 years due to renal failure. My question is, since I have had a kidney transplant, does my social security benefits end. If so when, because there is always a chance of rejection. If it does end, I do not want to be taken by surprise, will they let you know early enough, or will it be oneof those deals where they just cut you off, then inform you that you are no longer eligible?

Hi Richard,
If you're still otherwise eligible, medical events may not constitute a reason for the SSA to rescind your benefits.

Hi Rick,
You may be able to! It may be a good idea to speak with a disability advocate or attorney regarding your case, they can help with the application process and also fight for you on appeal if needed. You can contact one by filling out this form:

Hi there,
You may be eligible for benefits for at least a year after the transplant.
Been on ssd since 2013 for esrd, heart issues, etc... just completed a review in 2016 and was approved for esrd. Will they disregard my prior disability now and just go from my transplant date?

Hi Lessie,
If your previous disability has not improved,you may still be eligible for benefits due to that disability.
SSDI Question
Hi, My husband receives SSDI for ESRD. He had a transplant in March 2013. He's 57 and worked as a heavy equipment mechanic for his entire career. Kidney function is good; however he has bone density issues, chronic fatigue, etc. His Nephrologist has deferred to his PCP regarding "fit for duty". His PCP has been working with SSA & the former employer's LTD provider. PCP continues to recommend that his is unable to work more than 4 hours per day and not on consecutive days. Unfortunately PCP, left private practice and LTD provider required an update from PCP. No response so they cancelled LTD benefits. I'm concerned that SSA will do the same with SSDI and we'll lose those benefits as well.

Hi Susan,
If your husband is approved for SSDI benefits, then he may not lose them unless his condition improves or if he is considered to be able to work by the SSA.
It’s been 2 years and 2 months since I had my kidney transplant. I’ve seen and heard that you maintain your disability income and Medicare for 1 year post transplant and I’ve heard that you keep all benefits for 3 years? I didn’t work for 10 years prior to my transplant. Can I continue to receive my disability and Medicare benefits for more than 3 years? I haven’t been contacted by SSA yet. Will they contact me months before they cut me off? How will I know when my time is up? I’m worried that they will just cut me off without warning? If they discontinue my monthly disability income, can I keep my Medicare? If so, do I pay that out of pocket or does everything go away? What does SSA look at to determine if you should keep all benefits? Over these past 10 years of kidney disease and all the other illnesses that come with it and now neuropathy in my feet, I just don’t feel that I’m up to par to carry a 9-5 job.

Hi Zeta,
The SSA may send you advance notice of any changes in your benefits prior to them changing your benefits.

Hi Greg,
If your disability started before the age of 22, you may be eligible for benefits based off of your parent's work record.

Hi Maria,
If you're receiving benefits based on your work record, you may not lose benefits if you are still otherwise eligible.
