Are established periods of disability excluded when benefits are computed?

711. Are established periods of disability excluded when benefits are computed?

Yes. We must exclude an established period of disability in figuring your benefit unless the exclusion of the period results in fewer benefits or a loss of insured status. This exclusion applies to all computation formulas. (See Chapter 5 for the requirements for establishing a period of disability and for the beginning and ending dates of this period.)

Moving to California

October 1, 2009 by Guest

When I move to california I was told that the SSD payments (I get on the 3rd) will be greater. Is this true?

Do Social Security disability benefits bary by state?

I have not seen evidence of a possible change in Social Security disability payments when moving to another state. I am almost certain retirement benefits are a function of your work and earnings history -- not where you live.

It is, however, possible, benefits from state agencies may vary from state to state. Check the relevant state agency for details.

Here are some resources regarding moving that may be useful :
