Will inheritance affect my Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) payments?

Hi, I had a severe brain hemorrhage, caused by an AVM, in 1997. I had 1 brain surgery the day it happened and a second surgery the next day to remove more blood clots and more damaged brain tissue. My girlfriend was the one who realized I was even having a life threatening problem happen. I just thought I was having a really bad headache. My girlfriend called 911 and got me to the hospital in time for the surgeon on call to do anything. My girlfriend did not have any legal power to make decisions for me so she called my Dad and brothers to inform them that there had been an emergency and that I was in surgery. My oldest brother immediately out a "no code blue" on me and got mad at my GF for allowing surgeries to take place without his consent. 5 days later my family managed to have me removed off all life support because they claimed they could not deal with the situation. Meanwhile, the took all my valuables out of my home and completely drained my bank accounts. Obviously, I did not die. My family walked away but my GF stood by me and helped me go through absolute hell to even get to the point that I am now. After my brother realized I was not going to die right away, he somehow got me a small amount of money coming in each month from SSA. My question is; how can I find out if I am on SSI or SSDI? I get a direct deposit of about $700 each month and I get a Form SSA-1099 Social Security Benefit Statement. It does not say on it waht kind of benefits i am actually recieving. My GF has been taking cnr of me for the last 19 years. but she has never been able to find out anything for me either as it seems my oldest brother, who I have not even seen in the past 15 years, has all the info about me. What can I do, or my GF do, to find out if I am getting SSI or SSDI? (GF has helped me type this, but words and Q's are mine)
thank you!

I have a durable power of attorney for my mother. She wants to gift the maximum amount of money this year--$14,000-- to each of her children, one of whom receives SSI. How much money may that adult child be gifted, if any, without posing a risk to his benefits? Eventually, each of us may inherit a large sum. Should we consider contacting an attorney to establish a Special Needs Trust?

My friend is on ssi and his mother was the executor of his account on his behalf. She had just passed and his family will be selling their house and spending the money. If he gets a $15,000 what should he do with the money and should he reported to SSI? He is 60 years old, because of his mental state and his mother's death what will happen if his SSI?

My father in law involved in car accident. He may receive a lump sum (over 2000.00) from Insurance. If he receives this fund, will he be disqualified for SSI benefit.

HI I am on ssdi and my father died in October last year. He left my brother and I a retirement IRA. Will they take my disability payment away because of this inheritance.

I'm collecting SSI and my mother just died. I think I may receive an inheritance of some sort but want keep my benefits. Do I have to take the inheritance?

so, again, my neighbor inherited hundred of thousands of dollars. she collects ssi disability. she had her daughter keep it in her bank account to "hide" it so she will still recieve a check. the inheritencce her son got, also has his sister hold it in her account, to keep from paying child support. my questin is: ARE THESE FRAUDULENT? when you hide what you've inherited, so you cvan keep the checks coming?

is it fraud when the inheritence isn't reported, and the person hides the inheritence in their daughters bank account? hiding the funds, and not reporting it seems fraudulent to me since its being hiden, covered up , and not reported. so is it?

I receive ssdi -- medicare and medicare. My mom passed away leaving me about $3,300 in a trusts she made out. Do i have to report this to social security? Will this affect my benefits? Or can I have the trustee paid for things I need instead of giving me the cash?

If someone is receiving SSI and Medicaid only do they have to report a personal injury settlement. What is the procedure for such a case?

I get social security disability benefits as a disabled adult child under my retired dads working record. As I understand it's just like I get ssdi and do not have any resource limit. With that said.. sadly my aunt died 3 days ago and has left me her several thousand $ life insurance policy. So my question is do I have to report that I'm getting the money to social security? Seeing it isn't income that I've gotten from work. Or do I have to report it.. I need to know whether I have to report it to them or not cause I don't want to lose my monthly benefits.. the life insurance isn't gonna last forever. So anyways.

I have a relative that receives only $650 p/mo month in ssi but expecting an inheritance. The person legitimately owes more than the anticipated inheritance in debt to another relative who has consistently paid the person's monthly apt. rent and storage rental unit fees over the past decade. Can the inheritance check be signed over to that person as repayment for the debt without negatively affecting their ssi?

My friends mother is on SSA and her mother passed recently and put her part of the inheritance in a Trust that she cannot touch unless something happens and she is not eligible for SS. Her sister is the executive, however has never showed her an accounting of her trust, it has been 6 years now. (They obviously don't get along) will she lose her benefits of its in a trust that she cannot use/touch? Also, she is a senior citizen and I feel like her sister is taking advantage of her and possibly spending the trust money, she is scared to hire an attorney because her sister could use the money in the trust and because she doesn't know how much is there she is scared. She wants to make sure the trust goes to her daughters when she passes.

Our father passed recently; my sister is receiving SSI, can I set up an annuity for her since my father did not fund any assets to the special needs trust for her future? Thank you for your assistance.

My mother got SSI until she inherited property from her mother's death. She is no longer getting benefits because if this. My question is can she sign her part of the inheritance over to one of her siblings and would she start receiving her benefits again as she would no longer own any property? The property is tied up in court between her family because some want it sold and others don't. So this fight may continue for years and in that time she has zero benefits. If signing over her part to someone else isn't an option, what other options does she have to get her benefits back?

I'm on ssi and rent a single family house...My landlordwantstoput my name on the deed and leave me the house...If I end up with the house someday, will I lose my ssi???? I was told if I sell it I would lose my ssi but not if I continue tolive in it...This is in R.I

My husband is on SSDI & I get a small check off his benefits when I turned 62. My mom passed & I'm going to get an inheritance off her estate. Won't be very much $5000 -$8000 maybe. Would this affect our Social security checks? My handicap son is 41years old & lives with us & he gets SSI & SS off his father. They sit it up when my husband got disabled. Will my inheritance affect our checks. I only get $215 a month.

Will inheritance affect my Social Security Social Security (Survivors), payments? or if i sell my home?

I was accepted on SS Disability in 2011 and since then, my CPA told me I no longer had to file taxes each year due to my income being below poverty level and I qualify for the Extra Help program here in FL. For the last 7 years, I have been power of attorney and caregiver for my godmother who lived with me. Since I am disabled, she paid to have home health aides come in each day to help her with her ADL's that I could not do for her. At the end, we had 3 aides so someone was always here 24/7, along with Hospice to help me. My godmother passed away 2 months ago, and since then I have found out that in her will, she left me approximately $50,000. Is this considered an inheritance, and if so will it affect my SS Disability Income checks each month? I received papers from the Insurance Co to fill out, and I checked the box that stated I want them to take all taxes out before they send me a check. Will I now need to file taxes again on this money? Thank you for any information you can give me.

i am currently recieving social security disability ,i have a check from my brother who is overseas ,he sent the check in my name to deposit it in my checking account ,then send it to him since there are so many scams overseas, if i deposit in my checking account then send it to him will it affect my social security benifits,its not my money but its for $350,000.00

My husband receives SSI benefits. If I receive an inheritance of over $3,000 I know he will lose his benefits for the month the inheritance is received. However, if we use that inheritance within the month on much needed home repairs will he be able to get his SSI benefits the next month?

I don't know if I'm receiving SSDI or SSI. I started out on disability but then I turned 62 un March. Did that change me from disability to SSI?
