Legal Question in Social Security Law in Pennsylvania

ssi and my fathers wil
My father died two weeks ago and left me a sizable amount of money which totals over 200,000. I have been recieving about 600 per month in SSI, but I maintain my own health coverage so I never had medicare. I've been on SSI for over 8 years now. Of course, it's not much money and my father did more to support me than SSI ever did. In fact, I used that payment to pay for my health insurance only since Iasm sick and have significant medical costs. What do i do now? An attorney says that Social Security can go back and take back all their payments to me. Is that true? Am I now not eligible for SSI? I still can't work and don't have enough money to see me through my life, even with what Dad left me. What should i do?

You should contact an attorney about establishing a special needs trust; otherwise, you are no longer eligible for SSI.
