for liens on the homes of people who get supplemental security income.
PERSONAL effects or household goods also do not count as assets in most cases. Insurance policies* * or a car may not affect eligibility either, depending on their value.
People can have soma money coming in and still get supplemental security income.
The first $20 a month in income generally isn’t counted. Income above the first $20 a month (apart from earnings) generally reduces the amount of the supplemental security income payment. This includes social security checks, veterans compensation, workmen’s compensation, pensions, annuities, gifts, and other income.
People who work while they are getting supplemental security income can earn as much as $65 in a month without any reduction in their Government payment. The payment is reduced $1 for each $2 in earnings over $65 in a month.
For eligible people who live in someone else’s household—a son’s or daughter’s home, for example—the supplemental security income payment may be reduced.
