SSI: Eligibility: Income Requirements
Summary
Next »1/4
To see if you qualify for SSI, the first question becomes: What is "income" for SSI purposes? Once we have determined what income is, and what income is not, the question then becomes what is the maximum income you can receive and still qualify for SSI. This article describes the definition of "income".
SSI defines income in three different ways:
- Earned Income (How To Calculate Earned Income For SSI Eligibility)
- Unearned Income (Income Requirements For SSI Eligibility: Unearned Income)
- Deemed Income (Income Requirements For SSI Eligibility: Deemed Income)
The total of the three types of income together equals countable income for SSI purposes.
An item received in a month is income. What's left becomes a resource the following month.
The maximum income you can receive and still qualify for SSI is the SSI benefit you would receive.
