Does Rental Income From Billboards Affect Me Applying For Disability?

Does rental from billboards I owned affect me applying for disability. I have cancer



Hi,

I'm sorry to hear about your illness.

No, rental income would not prevent you from qualifying for Social Security disability benefits. However, depending on how much rental income you receive it could make you ineligible for Supplemental Security Income (SSI), which is a needs based program administered by Social Security.

For more information about applying for disability benefits, refer to Social Security's website: https://www.ssa.gov/benefits/disability/.

Best, Jerry
