Does Unearned Income Affect SSDI?

Ordinary gifts or investment income usually do not stop SSDI the way they can affect SSI, but certain benefits — such as workers’ compensation — can cause offsets. Work earnings are a separate issue.

SSDI vs SSI

SSI looks closely at income and resources; SSDI focuses more on disability and insured status.

Offsets

Some public disability benefits can reduce SSDI.

When unsure

Bring award letters so the interaction can be reviewed.
