That would be totally correct.
If President Obama (age 52) has a totally disabling stroke tomorrow, he gets SSDI that kicks in starting October, 2014. How much pension money he gets as a former president has nothing to do with it. He would also get Medicare starting in 2016. If he regains the use of his faculties in 2017 and starts making speeches that he gets well paid for, then he loses the SSDI and the Medicare.
