If you are receiving SSDI and your living situation changes, such as moving in with a family member or beginning to share housing costs, you must report these changes to the Social Security Administration (SSA). Such changes in your household income or shared living expenses can affect your eligibility for SSDI benefits and the amount you receive. For example, if someone in your household begins contributing to your living expenses, it could be considered additional income, which may reduce your SSDI payments. Reporting these changes promptly ensures that your benefits remain accurate and that you avoid potential overpayments or underpayments.
Reporting changes in your living situation is important because it helps ensure that your SSDI benefits are calculated accurately and avoids issues with overpayment or underpayment.
