TLDR : Answer Summary
Individuals collecting SSDI can generally stay outside the U.S. for up to six months without jeopardizing their benefits. After this period, they may need to prove their eligibility to continue receiving benefits. For those on SDI, the rules may vary by state. It's crucial to consult the Social Security Administration for precise information based on individual circumstances.

Cause of disability is NOT Thai ladies...they fix the problem
With an STI, you should probably go to the doctor and start wearing rubbers.

Disabled they expect you to stay in the USA I don’t blame the government your just sucking money off the hard working tax payers and wanting to bang woman in the Philippines and Thailand courtesy of the government! If you want to game the system move to Guam or Saipan two territory’s 2-3 hour plane rides from PI and Thailand and do short hops back and forth. Play the game correctly
As long as you want. Have someone you trust take care of your mail, etc. If your home is now thailand and you're disabled, even easier. Keep in contact with your attorney and doctor.
it’s not fraud. You are unaware of our policies regarding a protected group of citizens…we have the right to receive these benefits regardless of our physical address. The
SSDI, or Social Security Disability Insurance, is a federal program that provides financial assistance to individuals who are unable to work due to a qualifying disability.
SDI, or State Disability Insurance, is a state-run program in some U.S. states that provides temporary financial assistance to individuals who are unable to work due to a non-work-related illness, injury, or pregnancy.
Individuals on SSDI (Social Security Disability Insurance) can generally be outside the U.S. for up to six months without losing their benefits. However, if they stay outside the country for more than six months, they may need to provide proof of continuing eligibility and could risk losing their benefits. It's important to check with the Social Security Administration for specific rules and any exceptions that might apply.
I would recommend talking to your local office. I have lived abroad for over 7 years. SSA is aware of this and they have my Thai and Cambodia addresses on file. I still have my American address with my family as well. I've went through SSDI recertification a few times since living abroad with no issues. If you're upfront and find out what you need to do ahead of time you'll be ok. Thailand is one of numerous approved countries on SSA list of places you're able to receive your SSDI pension as well. Hope this helps. 😊
That's not fraud. I literally told SSA I was moving abroad and contacted them with my Thailand address. I even had to do the recertification a few times since living abroad, with my Malay and Thai doctors information. There's no problems. Thailand is also on the approved list of countries you can receive your pension if you wish to send your direct deposit there.

If you're receiving disability payments and being supported by the government, they expect you to be at home disabled, not out enjoying vacations across the globe
