Do SSDI and pension recipients receive the same payout amount?

NO, SSDI and pension recipients do not receive the same payment amount, but the amounts are closely linked. Here are the most important points:

  • Your SSDI Benefits usually correspond to your old-age pension at full retirement age.
  • When you reach full retirement age (65-67, depending on your birth year), your SSDI benefits will convert to retirement benefits. However, the monthly amount will remain the same. Only the name will change from “disability” to “retirement.”
  • After switching to retirement, you have options that could potentially increase your monthly payment:
    • You can withdraw your pension application and delay benefits until age 70. You will earn deferred pension credits for each year you wait, increasing your benefit.
    • Once you retire, your dependents may be eligible for benefits based on your employment history.
  • Survivor benefits for a spouse are usually the same for SSDI and retirement benefits. However, the calculations for maximum family benefits differ. This difference can affect survivor payments if your spouse is caring for dependent children.
