Is my Social security disabiity taxable to my STATE if my STATE income is not taxable?

I receive a pension as a former state employee which is NOT taxable to my state---(do not have to file a State return).. but IS taxable to the Feds... This year I also started getting social security disability.. I know that 1/2 of those disability payments is subject to FEDERAL TAX because my retirement income is over $25,000... HOWEVER, since I actually have NO TAXABLE INCOME from my state, would I therefore have to pay taxes on ANY of the social security money to my State as the retirement money I receive is NOT TAXABLE to my state?

Update:

State is NY

Update 2:

vp... The only reason my Social security IS taxable to the FEDS is that I have OTHER TAXABLE INCOME which is over $25,000... Social security law says if you have combined income, interest, etc of over $25,000, then in MY case, 1/2 of the Social security benefits is taxable to the FEDERAL IRS... However, for New york State purposes, I do not FILE a return because i HAVE no taxable income EXCEPT the social security which, if my INCOME is not taxable to NY, why then would my SSD be taxable----as my total taxable NY income is 0???

    You didn't give your state.

    However, you make it clear that you will be showing some of your ss benefits as taxable income on the federal 1040. Chances are, the same amount will be taxable at the state level as well.

    That depends on your state. Many if not most states do not tax social security, whether it's disability or retirement.
