<prompt> Human: My husband and I are disabled and under 45 years of age. My husband is on Supplemental Security Income SSI benefits and medicaid insurance. I am slightly different, I paid in taxes through working so Im on Social Security Disability Income SSDI benefits and Medicare Medicaid Insurance. Also, we are on SNAP benefits. What happens to our benefits if my husbands family leaves him and only him an inheritance of over 10k? Do we both lose all our medical coverage as well as our SSI and my SSDI payments? Is there a limit to how much money we can have if we give up all the supplemental income and benefits? Can we keep the SSDI income from me? Help??? Calling Social Security can be a nightmare to get a same answer twice. Any advice?  <response>: SSDI will not be affected. SSI could be, it depends on the amount of money you are talking about.If it was affected, you have some options:Keeping EligibilityYou may be able to keep your inheritance and still retain eligibility for SSI even if the amount of the inheritance would otherwise put you over the statutory limit of 2,000 for individuals and 3,000 for couples, by setting up a special needs trust. Money in special needs trusts, which is managed by a trustee rather than being managed by you as the SSI recipient, can be spent only for specific purposes so the Social Security Administration may not count that money as part of your resources. You can also ask to be disinherited from the estate or to have someone else inherit your share instead, but this means that youll never receive the inheritance.
