When I got approved for ssdi I received a lum sum also with no explanation. That showed up afterwards. They will eventually send you all the information. No they do not automatically take taxes out. You must got the the wbsite ssa.gov and fill out a form to have them remove taxes. Also you must be disabled for a certain amount of time (I don't remember how long exactly, maybe 6 or 12 months) before you can collect disablility.

Social Security had deposited money into my account. However, I have not received any paperwork for explaination. I have been disabled since 01/06 and as of my last SS statement in 7/05, disability payments should have been $1500 a month. However, what was deposited into my account was only for 10 months while I have been disabled for 16 months. My question, does SS withhold taxes on the amount paid? Thank you for all you help.
