In some cases, if you are seriously disabled, you may qualify to have student loans discharged as part of your Social Security benefits. If this happens to you, don’t worry about losing benefits. Discharging your loans is a separate issue and will not affect the amount of money you get through your SSDI benefits. The Department of Education handles the discharge of your student loans. However, it is always a good option to get a lawyer’s advice when receiving any type of Social Security benefit to help ensure that the paperwork is in order and the process goes smoothly.
