Will Selling My Home Affect My SS Disability?

I am selling my house and will have $40,000 after all is settled. I am on SS Disability. Will I this affect my disability?

Hi,

No. Income received from selling your home is not considered as earned income, so it would have no effect on Social Security disability (SSDI) benefits.

Best, Jerry
