No. Distributions from a 401k are unearned income for Social Security purposes, and do not affect the benefit amount you receive under regular SS retirement or SSDI (disability) programs. Only SSI (Supplemental Security Income, a form of welfare) payments are means-tested and offset by either earned orunearned income.
