Several Additional Benefits to Consider in Addition to SSDI Monthly Benefits. Once you are approved for Social Security Disability Benefits, there are several other matters you should be aware of that could be of great benefit.
1. You might not have to pay income taxes on a portion of the SSDI benefit payments. Check with the person who prepares your taxes!
2. There are incentives if you return to work: Employment Network, protection for SSDI income, etc.
3. Medicare coverage begins 24 months after your SSDI begins.
4. COBRA benefits could be extended an additional 11 months.
5. Most long term disability plans require you to apply for SSDI to protect LTD benefits.
6. Approval for SSDI triggers a Social Security earnings record freeze that can result in a higher retirement income.
7. SSDI approval can activate benefits for your children under the age of 18, adding up to 50% more income to your monthly payments.
8. The SSA evaluates cost of living allowances annually, which could increase your monthly payment.
