SSDI and SAHM's - losing eligibility if home more than 5 years?

I don't quite understand what you are asking.... are you wanting to apply for SSDI right now?

Why don't you apply right now? The older you get the more "credits" you need. If you've not been working for 2.5 years, you could be jeporadizing your elgibility based on work history (meeting the medical criteria is a completely separate battle)

In order to get the highest amount for SSDI it's best to apply while still working or just after quiting. If you wait more than a couple years the amount you'll get will be lower. The reason for this is because the amount you get with SSDI is not based on total lifetime earnings but rather what you made in the last 10 years (or 40 credits in SSAdmin lingo).

For this very reason I applied when I did. I considered stopping work and going back part time when I was capable but a nice older cfer on here told me she worked part time for 5 years while her kids were little and it messed up her benefits when after 5 years she applied and got something like 1/2 what she would if she'd applied right after switching from full time to part time.

I think the above addresses your question. It is worded confusingly though making it sound like if someone is on SSDI would they have to return to work in 5 years in order to keep the SSDI benefits. THIS IS DEFINITELY not the case. Once disabled, always disabled unless you 1)work over the limits thus proving to them that you aren't disabled (in their eyes) 2) if your medical records to not support that you are disabled for the reasons that you were determined disabled. The SSA has the right to request medical records. For me they have already told me that they will do it in 2 more years.
