I was granted SSI disability 20 months ago, I just found out about a company pension plan and trust that I forgot about from a job I worked at from 1990 to 1996 and didn't tell social security about ( I didn't know I had it) The plan states I cant touch it till I'm 55 or if on DISABILITY!!! I'm 49 years old now and like I said collecting SSI disability for the last 20 months. Can I receive this being on SSI DISABILITY???? Can someone please help me with my problem??? THANKS

No Limits on Unearned Income. While a disabled (nonblind) person applying for or receiving SSDI cannot earn more than $1,170 per month by working, a person collecting SSDI can have any amount of income from investments, interest, or a spouse's income.

You should be fine. SSDI only checks if you are working, since it pays you for not working. Other income, such as a private long term disability insurance policy, does not affect SSDI. My wife collects from a private disability insurance on top of SSDI.
