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 Darcy,
You may not have to apply at the same time, but it could be beneficial to have a lawyer working on both. Reach out to your local SSA office for more on your specific case.
I applied for SSI and SSDI I checked the website and they denied my application for SSI, But I did not see my SDDI updates. Does this mean it was also denied?

Hi There,
You can be denied one type of benefit and not the other. SSI and SSDI have different technical requirements so you may not have met the SSI technical qualifications. The SSA is likely still reviewing your claim to see if you meet the SSDI qualifications. Good luck!
I was denied Ssdi but my ssi is still processing . What does that mean ?

Hi Kay,
You can be denied one benefit and approved for the other. You may not have met the technical qualifications for SSDI so you were denied. The SSA is now likely evaluating if you meet the qualifications for SSI. Best of luck!

Hi Ken,
That is not necessarily the case. However, if you are denied both, you have the option of appealing the SSA's decision.

Hi Beatrice,
SSDI and SSI have different technical requirements, so you may not have met the SSDI requirements. They are likely still processing your SSI application to see if you qualify for those requirements.

Hi Carnell,
You can be approved for one type of benefit and not the other. It's possible that your claim for SSDI is still being processed to see if you qualify.
I applied for SSI 9/1/2019. Received a letter 10/11 that I was denied SSDI, nothing about SSI. Does that mean SSDI only or SSI also? I sent an appeal online 10/12 and stated I was applying only for SSI and not SSDI. Don't know why they thought I applied for SSDI as well. When I call the 1800#, it says a decision has been made and I should wait for something in the mail. Does "decision has been made" mean they also denied SSI? I have not received anything regarding SSI. Thanks.

Hi Jon,
You can be denied SSDI and approved for SSI. I would keep monitoring to see if you receive something in the mail regarding SSI. If this continues, you may want to visit your local SSA office (make an appointment first) to find out more on your claim.
i called social security office to see if a decision been made for my son she said it’s pending then she also said they haven’t made a decision what do that means

Hi Roxy,
It means that a decision has not been made on your claim, so you still have not been approved or denied. The SSA is still evaluating if you qualify for disability benefits.
I applied for both SSI and SSDI. I went for a hearing before ALJ and received my decision denying my SSI but I don't know if it includes a denial for SSDI also? Do you receive a letter for both?

Hi Ashley,
Sometimes you can be denied for one and not the other. I would try checking your MySSA account or talking with your lawyer (if you worked with one). If you're still not sure, you can call the SSA at 1-800-772-1213! Best of luck.
I applied for ssi and ssdi in July of 2019. I call a couple of days ago to check on the status. It say pending...what does that mean

Hi Sharon,
Pending means the SSA is still working on making a decision on your claim.
I was denied ssi but SSDI is still processing. I am so confused. Will I be denied SSDI since I was denied Ssi.
