If you're on Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), you can generally continue to receive your benefits while living abroad, including in Thailand, as long as you meet all the eligibility rules and report your move to the Social Security Administration (SSA).

However, if you're receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI), you cannot receive SSI payments while living outside the U.S. for more than 30 days, even in a country like Thailand.

Summary:

SSDI (based on work credits): Yes, you can still receive it in Thailand.

SSI (needs-based): No, you lose eligibility after 30 days outside the U.S. (chatgpt)
