A $1,500 insurance payout shouldn't normally be a cause for worry. But for one Social Security Disability Insurance recipient, the check raised a serious question: Could it put their benefits at risk?
The individual, who shared their story on Reddit, explained that they hit a deer with their car. Because the vehicle also serves as a backup home, repairing the damage was urgent. Their insurance company offered a payout, but they weren't sure whether accepting it would affect their monthly disability payments.
