I was recently asked if you will still receive your Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits if you move to a different state. I understand the fear of moving to a different state when you rely on SSI benefits to make it month to month.
Fortunately, the general answer is yes.
Social Security is a national program. Whether you are receiving Disability Insurance Benefits (DIB) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits, your benefits continue even if you move to a different state.
However, the following states provide additional benefits and supplement SSI benefits:
- California
- The District Of Columbia
- Hawaii
- Massachusetts
- Nevada
- New Jersey
- New York
- Pennsylvania
- Rhode Island
- Vermont
So, your benefits may change depending on what state you live in.
Social Security has a more information about how each of these states supplement SSI benefits.
