If you get social security disability income will I get into trouble if I invest in stocks

Hi. No. Investing in stocks and any profits received from those investments have no adverse impact on Social Security disability (SSDI) benefits. However, if a person receives Supplemental Security Income (SSI), then any type of investment could potentially affect their SSI payments. SSI is a needs based benefit administered by Social Security, so any change in a person's income or assets can affect SSI eligibility.
