Yes, and in any other investment, since SSDI is simply accelerated Social Security Benefits you would be entitled to due to your work history and the fact you paid taxes during your working career. The SS administration simply estimates what a disabled person would get at full retirement age had they not been disabled and pays the benefit to the disabled person when they qualify as disabled. So, the money is up to the recipient to do with as they please and has nothing to do with checking accounts or savings account or any other assets.

SSI benefits, confused with SSDI, is "needs based" and IS affected by a low-income persons assets.

Do handicapped children of a deceased father have any claim to the estate?

The father is required to provide for his minor children. They can file a claim against the estate in court if they were left out of a will. However, state laws treat adult children differently and state laws vary regarding the ability to disinherit adult children. This issue can be quite complex, so I would advise you to contact a local attorney who specializes in disability law regarding this matter. The attorney must be familiar with disability law since any funds that come into the estate of a person receiving benefits can affect those benefits.

Will I lose my retirement accounts or payments from social security if I file for bankruptcy?

Generally, no. Retirement accounts that are ERISA-qualified aren't considered property of an estate and cannot be taken. Social Security benefits are generally protected from assignment, or garnishment for debts in bankruptcy. The Social Security Administration's responsibility for protecting benefits against legal process and assignment usually ends when the beneficiary is paid. Once paid, the benefits continue to be protected only as long as they can be identified as Social Security benefits. For example, money in a bank account where the "only" deposits into the account are direct deposits of Social Security benefits are "identifiable" and generally protected.
