No, it's not taxable. You only have to pay if you worked for it. But in this case I'm not really that sure. That is why you should consult an accountant.

It may be taxable based on how much money you make from other sources. It is likely not taxable if social security is your only income.

It's not directly taxable but they do find ways to get some of it back. Talk to your accountant about it and see if there isn't a way you can avoid it.
