Gambling winnings on a whole affect your social security hugely because whether you lose the same amount of money you win while gambling you would be paying a lot in taxes. When you win from gambling, the amount won is subjected to a 25% tax. There are certain higher amounts however which an income tax will be applied. I wanted to know if i play the slot machines in a casino and win lets say over 10,000 or more while collecting my social security disabilty check.Will i lose my check.I mean its gambling winnings not earned income from a job. Gambling proceeds can affect Roth IRA eligibility, increase Medicare premiums and increase taxes on Social Security benefits, even when losses offset winnings. While lottery winnings will not reduce your benefit, they are fully taxable and must be reported on your income tax return (line 21 of your 1040). Besides that, there are other potential effects.

Please see the Spotlight on Reporting Your Earnings to SSA.

WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU DO NOT REPORT CHANGES TIMELY AND ACCURATELY?

You may be underpaid and not receive the benefits due to you, as quickly as you otherwise could, if you do not report changes on time.

We may overpay you, and you may have to pay us back. We may apply a penalty that will reduce your SSI payment by $25 to $100 for each time you fail to report a change to us, or you report the change later than 10 days after the end of the month in which the change occurred.

If you knowingly make a statement which is false or misleading or knowingly fail to report important changes, we may impose a sanction against your payments. The first sanction period is a withholding of payments for 6 months. Subsequent sanction periods are for 12 months and then 24 months.
