As far as assets are concerned, to be eligible for SSI, an applicant can have no more than $2,000 in assets ($3,000 for a couple), a figure that has not changed since 1989. If the applicant can use or liquidate an asset to pay for food or shelter, the asset will probably count as a "resource" against this limit.

Unlike SSI, there are no income or asset limits for SSDI eligibility. Instead, to qualify for SSDI, enrollees must have a sufficient work history (generally, 40 quarters) and meet the strict federal disability rules. SSA uses the same rules to determine disability for both the SSI and the SSDI programs.
SSDI is not a needs-based benefit. If you are on that program for two years, you will also qualify for Medicare. Because SSDI is not needs-based, a special needs trust is not necessary to qualify for it.
If you use your assets to establish a trust on or after January 1, 2000, generally, the trust will count as your resource for SSI. In the case of a revocable trust, the whole trust is your resource.
The first $20 of income received each month is not counted. In addition, with respect to earned income, the first $65 each month is not counted, and one-half of the earnings over $65 in any given month is not counted.
HOW DOES MONEY FROM A TRUST THAT IS NOT MY RESOURCE AFFECT MY SSI BENEFITS? Money paid directly to you from the trust reduces your SSI benefit. Money paid directly to someone to provide you with food or shelter reduces your SSI benefit but only up to a certain limit.
A Special Disability Trust (SDT) is a special type of trust that allows parents and immediate family members to plan for current and future needs of a person with severe disability. The trust can pay for reasonable care, accommodation and other discretionary needs of the beneficiary during their lifetime.
Using a Special Needs Trust Fortunately, there is a simple way to accept an inheritance without risking loss of SSI benefits. By setting up a special needs trust and depositing the inheritance into it, the beneficiary can continue to receive SSI while also getting the benefit of the inheritance.
The SSDI program does not limit the amount of cash, assets, or resources an applicant owns. An SSDI applicant can own two houses, five cars, and have $1,000,000 in the bank. And the SSDI program doesn't have a limit to the amount of unearned income someone can bring in; for instance, dividends from investments.
