An SSI recipient will also automatically qualify for Medicaid in most states. An SSDI recipient will automatically qualify for Medicare after 24 months of receiving disability payments. How To Apply.

When federal SSI began, the SSI payment was less than the state disability payment. In 2024, the average SSDI payment for an individual is $1,537, but almost two-thirds of SSDI recipients receive less than that. And only 10% of SSDI recipients receive $2,000 per month or more.
