Supplemental Security Income
To receive SSI, you must be at least 65 years old, blind, or have a disability, and have “limited” income and resources. The SSA employs a complex formula to make sure your countable assets do not exceed the threshold for receiving SSI benefits. For example, food stamps, income tax refunds, and gas and electric energy assistance are not part of countable income, nor are a person’s primary home or primary vehicle. Stocks, bonds, cash, and other real estate are countable. Talk to an experienced social security disability lawyer, from anywhere in the country, to discuss eligibility for SSI or SSDI benefits.
