Re: Social security disability back pay

If your retro is regular SS disability (Title II, DIB, SSDI, etc.)there is no asset limit so you can save it without fear of disqualification. If this $ was sent to you by mail and came in a white envelop, it is regular SS disability.

If it is SSI disability (came in a blue envelop) it is a different/more complicated story.
