8 Types of Income that Doesn’t Reduce SSDI Benefits

Currently there are more than 5 million workers who receive Social Security disability insurance (SSDI). These benefits help workers who are disabled meet their living expenses. The amount received however, can be affected by other forms of income. If you have been diagnosed with a severe health condition that has lasted or is expected to last at least a year, then you could qualify to receive Social Security disability benefits.

The following are 8 types of income that will not reduce your SSDI benefits. 

• Supplemental Security Income (SSI);
• some state/local government benefits;
• VA benefits;
• settlements from cases involving tort actions or negligence;
• paid sick leave;
• Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act (RUIA) payments;
• Jones Acts claims; and
• Federal Employer's Liability Act (FELA) claims.
