VerifiedHi - my name is XXXXX XXXXX I'm an Estate Law attorney here to assist you.
If he receives an inheritance while on welfare and social security, it will make him ineligible for benefits temporarily.
If he doesn't want his inheritance, he can sign a waiver of his inheritance, and the money can be distributed to the other heirs.
Glad to help. I wish you luck getting this resolved.
