What happens to my SSDI if I move to another state, like Colorado?

What happens to my SSDI if I move to another state, like Colorado? When you relocate to Colorado, your Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits generally continue without interruption. SSDI is a federal program, so your payments are not affected by changing states. However, you must inform the Social Security Administration (SSA) of your new address to ensure you receive updates and benefits properly. Additionally, any state-specific resources or services related to disability may differ in Colorado.

Find out if you qualify for SSDI benefits. Pre-qualify in 60 seconds for up to $4,018 per month and 12 months back pay.

Please answer a few questions to help us determine your eligibility.

Inform the SSA of Your Move

Notify the SSA within 10 days to avoid payment issues:

  • Update your address through your online account, phone, or local SSA office.
  • This ensures your payment information and notices get to the right place.
Your SSDI Payments Stay Federal

SSDI benefits are funded federally, so moving won’t affect:

  • The amount of your monthly payments, which will remain the same.
  • Eligibility for benefits continues as long as you meet federal standards.
State-Based Programs May Differ

Colorado may have different services compared to your previous state:

  • Medicaid or state supplements to SSDI might have unique rules.
  • Programs like vocational rehabilitation or housing assistance can vary.
Working with Local Agencies

You may need to connect with Colorado’s local offices for:

  • Disability support services and benefits counseling.
  • Help understanding state-specific benefits or programs offered.
Keep Your Contact Info Current

Always keep the SSA informed of changes like:

  • Address, phone number, or bank account details for direct deposit.
  • Reporting any changes in work or income when required.
