Can My Mother-In-Law's Social Security Benefits Be Affected If She Buys A Condominium?

Hi Larry, my questions is. My mother in law is retired and receives Social Security benefits, can her benefits be affected if she buys a condominium cash about $100.00 dollars. Please let me know. Thanks

Hi,

I'm not sure if there's a typo in your question, or if I'm correctly understanding your question. Anyway, Social Security benefits are not affected by things that a person owns, so if your mother in law buys a condominium, it would not affect her Social Security benefits.

Best, Jerry
