A:
Under federal regulations, a grant for soil conservation would typically be considered income for the purpose of a business or farming operation and may not directly impact Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits or Medicare eligibility. However, the specific facts of your situation may require careful examination, as the interplay between federal grant income and SSD benefits is complex. Consulting with an attorney well-versed in Social Security and Medicare law would be prudent to assess your particular circumstances.
