Hi,

Unless you're a realtor, buying and/or selling a home wouldn't have any effect on your Social Security disability (SSDI) benefits. Only earned income can affect SSDI benefits, and earned income is limited to either wages or self-employment earnings. Income from the sale of a home Isn't classified as either wages or self-employment, except for people who are self-employed in the business of selling real estate.

However, if you receive receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI), then you would need to report income from the sale of a home to Social Security. SSI is a needs based benefit, so both earned and unearned income can potentially affect those benefits.

Best, Jerry
