Will inheritance affect my Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) payments?

John Doe has been receiving SSI benefits for 12 years. 6 years ago, John's father died, his house was sold, John received $100,000 cash inheritance which he put into the bank in an interest bearing account. John consulted a CPA at the time of the inheritance asking whether he should advise SSI of the inheritnce. The CPA said "no". John did not report the inheritance and continued to receive SSI benefits including Medicaid and food stamps. Since the inheritance occurred, John did report the interest income from the bank account to SSI, indicating John did not try to hide the inheritance. Now, 6 years later, SSI noticed the interest income from the bank account, questioned John (who told them the truth). SSI cut off all benefits and is saying John has to reimburse for all benefits received since the inheritance. Is this correct? What is the CPA's position in this? Comments and guidance will be appreciated.

Hi my brother is on SSI. In 2014 we both received checks from my deceased mom's retirement contributions. Under $5000. My mom passed in 2003. My brother signed his check over to me to help pay my debt as I had a newborn and ws out of work for 7 months. I just received an unofficial letter from SA asking about these funds. Isn't my brother entitled to transfer his money?

I understand that an inheritance from my Dad passing won't affect my SSDI benefits BUT does it make a difference if the funds came from a mutual fund account that he had where my siblings and I were named beneficiaries? I received a form from the mutual fund company for tax purposes but I am just wondering if when I am calculating on the back of the form that Social Security sends each year to see if I do have to pay taxes on my SSDI payments and I add my inheritance funds to the total it still says I don't have to pay taxes? Do I need to report this to Social Security?

I started receiving royalties from my brother's estate in Nov. 2012 and Feb. 2013, which at that time I reported to the social security administration because I do receive SSI. However, they (ssa) called me 2/17/16 to address this issue. My issue is that I did the right thing and then two years or more later, I am being handled like a criminal? Is there any legal recourse after I had done the right thing by reporting these circumstances, because now they are treating me like I did something wrong, even though I informed them of my receipt of royalties from my brother's estate! Someone, please advise?
