Will I Lose My SSI Because My Step Mom Has Been Helping Me?
I recieve ssi and me and my husband seperated.i was stuck in a lease and rent was $336 more then my ssi benefit.so my step mom has been helping me so me my daughter n grandson wouldn't end up in the street.will I lose my ssi?
Hi. If you step mother gave you money for any reason, that could potentially reduce the amount of Supplemental Security Income (SSI) that you could be paid for the month(s) of the gift. Separating from your spouse could also have an effect on your SSI benefits, so I would suggest that you report all of the changes mentioned in your question so that Social Security can make any necessary changes to your benefits. SSI is a needs based program, so people receiving SSI are required to report changes in their income, resources, and living arrangements.
Best, Jerry
