Will Retirement Income Reduce My SSDI Benefits?

I am 59 and receiving ssdi. My ex is 62 and wants to retire early. He has 2 retirement funds that I will be receiving some money from. Will this retirement income reduce my ssdi benefits?

Hi,

No. The only type of income that could affect your Social Security disability (SSDI) benefits is earned income, specifically wages or self-employment earnings.

Best, Jerry
