Hi Larry , am receiving ssdi since 2008 ,64 years old. I apply for for PUS benefits and disclose my disability and that am receiving said benefits apply over the internet and got approved. Have not collect or put any week verification. Can collecting PUS benefits upset my SSDI benefits?

Hi,

I'm sorry, but I don't know what the abbreviation "PUS" refers to, so I can't answer your question. Generally, though, the only type of income that can affect Social Security disability (SSDI) benefits is earned income, such as wages or self-employment earnings.

Best, Jerry
