If You Receive SSDI Do You Need To Tell Social Security If Someone Moves In With You?

On ssdi you have some move in with you do i need to report it

Hi,

If all you receive is Social Security disability (SSDI) or any other type of Social Security benefit, then no. A person's living arrangements have no bearing on their Social Security benefits.

However, living arrangement changes can affect a person's eligibility or payment rate for Supplemental Security Income (SSI), so if you receive SSI benefits and if someone moves in with you you need to report that fact to Social Security.

Best, Jerry
