I was always told no but if they are doing the stimulus again this year it would be to your benefit to apply. My neighbor and my son each got $300. From the stimulus by filing their SSD.

Depends on the source and nature of your disability pension.
If the disability is from the Social Security Administration, it IS taxable if here are sources of income. By itself, it will NOT be taxable.
If the disability is from a private policy on which that YOU paid the premiums, the pension is tax-free.
If someone else (such as your employer) paid the premiums, then the pension is taxable.
