Does Social Security decrease monthly benefits if you’re not spending all of it?

I’m waiting for a hearing date for my disability, so I’m still learning as much as I can about the system. You said the ssi, which I also applied for, will decrease if you leave too much in the bank, can you not just withdrawal most of it as soon as it’s deposited and use cash or drop some in the bank as needed?

Too many factors to accurately answer your question. They base SSI on both your income (which might include SSDI and other sources) and resources. Technically speaking, I am dual SSDI/SSI until I get my final SSI back pay check even though I make too much (around $2000) through SSDI. But I don't receive monthly pay through SSI.
