No. There are no penalties for collecting Social Security benefits for an approved disability. If you are also receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI), which is a form of welfare, there are restrictions on the assets you can own and still receive benefits, but your home is exempt from that formula. The government will not confiscate your home.

What does the money form social security taxes fund?
Social security is basically when the government takes a certain percentage of money from the working generation and gives it to the retired generation. When the working generation become retired, they receive social security. Social security started after the Great Depression, when the government needed to make sure that people had money stored away to live after they stopped working. People get certain amounts of social security depending on how much they and their spouses worked as young people, as well as what jobs and how much they gave to social security. The current problem with social security is that the baby boomers are now becoming retired, and there are more of them than the current generation of working people. There is not enough money to support these retiring people, and unless the government subsidies social security or takes other measures, it is likely to fall apart before people currently in their 30s and 40s become retired. So basically, the idea of how social security works is that you put away money and you will get that money when you retire.

What is the different between social security insurance and social security disability?
Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) is financed with Social Security taxes paid by workers, employers, and self-employed persons. To be eligible for a Social Security benefit, the worker must earn sufficient credits based on taxable work to be "insured" for Social Security purposes. Disability benefits are payable to blind or disabled workers, widow(er)s, or adults disabled since childhood, who are otherwise eligible. The amount of the monthly disability benefit is based on the Social Security earnings record of the insured worker. Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is a program financed through general revenues. SSI disability benefits are payable to adults or children who are disabled or blind, have limited income and resources, meet the living arrangement requirements, and are otherwise eligible. The monthly payment varies up to the maximum federal benefit rate, which may be supplemented by the State or decreased by countable income and resources. See Understanding Supplemental Security Income for an explanation of SSI benefit payment rates
Can you collect social security disability if you never worked?

If you are not eligible for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), you may be able to receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits, a form of welfare that doesn't require you to have a work history. You may also qualify for other state and federal assistance.
