If I am moving to another state, Are my disability benefits transferred or do I have to re-apply? In most cases, moving from state to state does not interrupt your Social Security Disability benefits.
Social Security Disability Insurance and SSI are both federal programs, and your eligibility is not significantly affected by your state of residence. You may, of course, have to apply for state supplemental benefits in your new state of residence and you will be discontinued from supplemental benefits from your old state of residence.
