I'm legally blind and receive SSI because I became disabled before I had any work credits. I've been self-employed since 2012 and believe I'll have enough credits for my age soon. Once I get enough credits for my age, can I switch from SSI to SSDI as long as my earnings don't exceed the limit for SSDI eligibility?

Hi John,
Eligibility for ssdi is dependent on the work credits that you have earned. This article by the SSA will give you a little more information on work credits:

If you believe you meet those qualifications, consider connecting with an attorney here: https://www.disability-benefits-help.org/form/free-disability-evaluation

Hello,
In order for your grandson to switch over to SSDI he will need to have enough work credits along with the other requirements the SSA has outlined.
