No, but it could impact any Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits you may otherwise receive. There is no "means testing" required for eligibility under Social Security Disability; you or -- under certain circumstances -- a parent or spouse needs to have worked recently and paid FICA for a set period of time, depending on age. You also have to have a qualifying disability and demonstrate an inability to engage in Substantial Gainful Activity for a period expected to last 12 months or more.

According to the Social Security Administration:

  • Age under 24 years, you generally need one and a half years of work during the three-year period before your disability begins.
  • Age 24 through 30, you generally need to have worked for half of the period between age 21 and the time you become disabled.
  • Age 31 or older, the amount of work you need depends on your age when you become disabled. Also, you must have worked for five years out of the 10 years immediately before you become disabled. Citizenship is not required to qualify for benefits, but you must have legal permission to work in the United States.

If someone is on SS disability and they were to inherit some money one time income will it affect monthly benefits?

If someone is receiving Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and inherits a one-time sum of money, it generally won't affect their monthly benefits, as SSDI is not based on income but on work history and contributions. However, if the inheritance generates ongoing income, such as interest or dividends, it could potentially impact their benefits if it raises their total income above certain thresholds. It's best for the individual to consult with a Social Security representative or a financial advisor for personalized guidance.
