I do not live in NY, but I believe SSDI benefits are based solely upon your past income and has nothing to do with your locality.

Your benefits would be the same no matter where you live in the US as I understand it.

SSDI is not a needs based program so it does not change if your living circumstances are improved or worsened.

Your SSDI benefits could buy you a much higher standard of living in most all other cities or towns in the US.

Then NYC is not the place for you to live in. Strongly suggest that you do some research for cities in the US that has reasonable rent. In some states like N.J. the disabled are grouped w/the seniors for priority when it comes to affordable housing.
I do not live in NYC but live close enough to visit relatives & friends who do live there.
**SEE BELOW**

Would the SSDI change to accommodate your living situation?
NOPE! Think of your SSDI payment as a monthly pension check.

NYC has one of the highest cost of livings in the USA. Your money will go further almost anywhere else.

And maybe Tos8's friends, relatives, support system, doctors etc are here. Especially when you are disabled and have medical problems just picking up and going is not so easy or simple.

I took her initial post as to mean that she was considering moving to NYC, not that she was already there and contemplating moving away.

I know that remaining close to my support systems is a concern when I consider where my next home will be (impending divorce necessitates a change), so I understand that moving to a lower CLA might make financial good sense, but could still be the wrong choice for many of us if it meant leaving a good support system.

As most people have said, I would not worry so much about that as I would worry about going through the process itself. If you are currently living somewhere more affordable, it would be a better idea to live there unless you want to spend more on rent each month (thus lowering your overall SSDI intake.
