Would My Cousin's Disability Benefits Be Affected By The Sale Of His Home?

A cousin, on SSDisability, owns his house. If he sells that house does it affect his Disability payments?

Hi,

No, assuming that your cousin receives Social Security disability benefits (SSDI). However, if he receives Supplemental Security Income (SSI), then those payments could potentially be terminated as a result of selling a home.

Best, Jerry
