No, very unlikely, unless your pending felony charge was somehow connected to your award of disability benefits.

I just wanted to point out that you cannot receive Social Security Disability benefits if you go to prison, it does not matter why you were sent to prison.

Please see http://www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs/10133.html

If you are sent to jail or prison you will not receive any Social Security Disability benefits or SSI for the time you are in jail or prison.
