ssdi is a federal program and has the same rules in all 50 states except for pilot programs such as eliminating the reconsideration stage of the determination process in some states. states administer the determination of eligibility in the initial stage but work under federal rules for the program. there is no way that ssdi is needs based only in florida. this is bad information. you might have both ssdi and ssi if your ssdi was a low enough amount. in that case if your assets were above the level to qualify you for ssi you would lose that portion of what you get a month. you would not lose the whole thing. i know you have said for a few years now that ssdi is needs based but that is incorrect.
