SSI is needs-based. If income or resources are over limits, your SSI may be reduced or denied.
Examples that may affect SSI:
– Earnings from work
– Financial help from others
– Certain benefits or cash support
– Resources over program limits
Important: not all income is counted the same way, and some exclusions apply.
What to do before applying:
– List all income sources
– Gather bank/resource details
– Report changes quickly to avoid overpayment issues
Always confirm current SSI rules, because limits and policies can change.
