A cousin, on SSDisability, owns his house. If he sells that house does it affect his Disability payments?

Hi,

No, assuming that your cousin receives Social Security disability benefits (SSDI). However, if he receives Supplemental Security Income (SSI), then those payments could potentially be terminated as a result of selling a home.

My wife is blind & on ssi.... my question is will her ssi be cut a certain dollar amount when i take my social security..she is 61 now & i am 64 now & will probably be taking my ss @ 66.

Hi,

I am currently on SSI. What happens when I turn 62 in January 2018 with these benefits and signing up with Social Security

Hi,

I applied for disability in May of 2014. My husband made too much for me to file for SSI. 3 months later his job changed within the company and he began traveling. By April of 2015 he was spending most of the month away from home. Physically I could not handle all of the trips to grocery shop, doctors appts, bill paying and caring for our sons. I was drained and had become very depressed being unable to keep up. Unable to change departments, he quit his job in May and returned to self employment allowing him some of the freedom to care for me/us.

I'm currently retired but thinking about returning to work full time. If I do what doni need to do. I'm currently receiving SSI.

Hi,

If you mean that you are receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI), your payments would likely be reduced if you work and earn more than $65 per month. In that case, you should notify Social Security if you do start working.

What's the amount a husband can make on ssdi in order for his. Wife to keep SSI

Hi,

Assuming they live together, the husband's SSDI would likely need to be under around $1,100+ in order for his wife to potentially still qualify for SSI (Supplemental Security Income). There are many variables involved in determining SSI eligibility and rates, however, so you would need to check with Social Security to be sure.

Can SSI cut my adult daughter's benefits because "she cant meet her fair share of household expenses?" She lives with her step-dad, younger sister and I. Our mortgage is $2,888.00. And SSI said your mortgage indicates that we make too much money therefore they cut her nenefits from $735.00 to $490.00. How can i get her the maximum benefit?

Hi,

Hi Larry,
My wife will be turning 66 year in November 2017. She received a letter from Social Security Administration that she is entitled additional income in the form of Supplemental Security Income (SSI).

We wonder what is this and when is the best time to start taking. Does it have any positive effects on spousal benefits? Looking forward to your suggestions.

Hi,

HELP.. My mother has been divorced 32years.. and has Medicare, Medicade and SSI. She has chronic health issues... stroke related and needs caregivers several hours a day.. all of her medical care is covered and medicines... Recently my father passed away... she received a notice that she would receive widows benefits. At first glance that seems great; however this puts her above the income limit to receive the much needed medicade and SSI service..We do not want the widows benefit..

Can someone collect SSI if they are receiving alimony?

Hi,

Yes, but it would depend on the amount of the alimony. Supplemental Security Income (SSI) can supplement an eligible person's other income up to a total of roughly $755 per month, although other factors can have an impact on the actual rate payable. Basically, though, if an individual is receiving alimony of less than $755 per month it's possible that they could still be eligible for SSI benefits.
