I receive social security disability and have for almost 30 years. I also work part time but am still able to claim my disability income. My husband passed away in August 2018 and I was his beneficiary on his retirement. He was in pers 2 and didn't pay into social security. Can this income affect my disability income?

Hi,

I'm sorry for your loss.

The answer to your question is no. Only your earned income (i.e. wages or self-employment) could potentially affect your Social Security disability (SSDI) benefits. Any income that you receive from your husband's pension plan would have no impact on your SSDI benefits.

Best, Jerry
