An individual who received SSI, and was found retroactively eligible for RSDI for a month in which SSI was received, is considered to have received SSI and RSDI concurrently. RSDI payments are received the month following the month of entitlement. For example, the RSDI entitlement for December is received in January. • He lost SSI for any reason, but would currently be eligible if the total amount of all RSDI Cost of Living Adjustments (COLAs) since the loss of SSI were deducted from his RSDI. This includes a COLA that results in the loss of SSI. • The individual currently receives RSDI benefits. When determining the COLAs to be deducted, include the increases received by the individual and his financially responsible spouse or parent. The procedure used is detailed in Section 4.11.
