I just went online today and saw that my ssdi was denied. I filled for ssdi and ssi on the exact same day. I figured my ssdi would be denied since I know that I don't have enough work credits. Yesterday the status on both said that a medical decision has been made and that someone may contact me. Now today the ssdi says denied but the ssi still says the same. What do you think this means?

Hi Carrie,
Unfortunately, there is no black and white answer. I would recommend just keeping in touch with your Social Security attorney or advocate regarding this.

Hi Carrie, my appeals council took about a year. They didn't even look at it and threw it out. I was advised to go through Federal Court and start a new app. Things are moving along this time.

Hi Leslie,
Thanks for sharing your experience. Unfortunately this process can take a long time.
I FILED FOR SSI IN SEPTEMBER 2018 I WENT TO SEE THE CE IN JANUARY 2019.I HAVEN'T HEARD NOR RECEIVED ANYTHING IN MAIL. IS IT A GOOD SIGN OR A BAD SIGN?

Hi There,
It's neither good or bad. Typically, it takes between 3-5 months to hear back from the SSA. But it varies case to case so it could take longer. Best of luck!
I applied for both ssi and ssdi... its saying the ssi has been denied.. but ssdi disappeared. i have narcolepsy cataplexy sleep apnea chiari malformation derision and anxiety. really could they deny all that? And why is ssdi not appearing?

Hi Sheryl,
To qualify for SSI, not only do you have to meet the medical qualifications but you also need to meet the technical qualifications. SSI is meant for those of severe financial need. If you or a spouse works and makes a decent living wage, then your SSI claim will be denied, which could have been what happened for you. As for the SSDI not appearing, I'm not sure why that is happening. They could still be processing that application.
I was approved for SSI but now the SDI is still processing what does that mean

Hi There,
It means you were approved for SSI but they are still determining your eligibility for SSDI, so you have not been approved or denied SSDI.
What happens if your SSDI is denied but your ssi says medical decision was made but still processing your claim

Hi There,
It means that you were denied for SSDI benefits but your application is still being processed for SSI. SSDI and SSI have different technical requirements so if you are denied one, you may still be eligible for the other. Best of luck!

I am currently getting money from ssdi but my lawyer said that ssi says I have a claim pending m how can that be if I'm already reviewed 4 checks of 522 and also how come no one has mention any back pay to me
In reply to I am currently getting money… by Justin (not verified)
Hi Justin,
Not everyone qualifies for back pay. It may not have been mentioned in your awards letter because you did not qualify. SSDI and SSI have some different requirements so it's possible to be approved for one and still have a pending claim for the other. I would follow up with your lawyer to see if there is anything needed for your SSI claim.
Applied on Jan 15th, right ankle fusion, no range of motion, Dr said there is no fixing me. Worked in medical field for 15 years (phlebotomist) shattered ankle in March 07. SSI was denied however SSDI is still pending. Is it a good indicator that if SSI is denied SSDI will be as well?

Hi Melissa,
SSI and SSDI have different technical qualifications, so that is most likely why SSI is denied and SSDI is pending still. You likely have most than the SSI limit in income and assets, which would automatically deny SSI. If you earned enough work credits for SSDI, then they may still be assessing your SSDI application.

Just received the denial letter today. The letter states that I was denied for both SSI and SSDI, however online says ssdi is processing still. Confused, so I guess it's time for a lawyer.

Hi Melissa,
I am sorry to hear that. If it says that your SSDI is still processing, you may not have been denied. The reason you may have been denied SSI benefits are that your income/assets may have exceeded the limits needed for SSI eligibility.
I contacted social security on May 21 I was told that I would receive back pay from Nov 2017 I have been off work since feb 2017 applied for disability Nov 2018 i have a law firm handling my case today i call social security again to check my claim status the operator could not verify because of my address call law office to find out what the problem was concerning the address it was indeed wrong but the operator was able to tell me I should be expecting a letter from social security to keep checking the mail the law office contacted social security today and the said that my claim is still pending I'm confused

Hi Denise,
The letter in the mail that they said you should be expecting will explain if you were approved or denied and why. I would keep checking the mail as well as your MySSA account.
Do i have to apply for both ssi and ssdi at same time
