No, but it could impact any Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits you may otherwise receive. There is no "means testing" required for eligibility under Social Security Disability; you or -- under certain circumstances -- a parent or spouse needs to have worked recently and paid FICA for a set period of time, depending on age. You also have to have a qualifying disability and demonstrate an inability to engage in Substantial Gainful Activity for a period expected to last 12 months or more.
According to the Social Security Administration:
- Age under 24 years, you generally need one and a half years of work during the three-year period before your disability begins.
- Age 24 through 30, you generally need to have worked for half of the period between age 21 and the time you become disabled.
- Age 31 or older, the amount of work you need depends on your age when you become disabled. Also, you must have worked for five years out of the 10 years immediately before you become disabled. Citizenship is not required to qualify for benefits, but you must have legal permission to work in the United States.

∙ 15y agoReceiving Social Security benefits does not by itself mean you can't be a dependent. But you must meet all of the requirements to be a dependent.
SS benefits count as gross income to the extent they must be reported as taxable income on the dependent's tax return. Even if they are not taxable, they count as support if the dependent uses them to support him/herself.

Can my disability lump sum payment be garnished if I filed for bankruptcy 9 years ago?
Congress speciifically excluded Social Security disability benefits from the median income test calculations. This means that your Social Security benefits do not count when calculating your household income for median income/means test purposes. Further, there is a good chance that your on-going Social Security benefits will be considered as an exempt assets, although you should discuss with your lawyer about whether any lump sum owed you for past due benefits is exempt. On the other hand, on-going Social Security benefits are counted when you create your bankruptcy budget (Schedules I and J), so your SSDI benefits may change your disposable income picture. If you are in a Chapter 13 and receive your Social Security disability award, you and your lawyer may need to modify your plan. Your Social Security lawyer may also need to seek Bankruptcy Court approval for his fees. In any case, filing bankruptcy does not cancel or impact your right to receive Social Security benefits. So while your benefit MAY be subject to garnishment...not for anything from your BK...the BK makes no difference now...those debts were discharged.
