I meant to do this yesterday, but had a busy day.

I've forgotten who's all going to the conference, but I'm planning on us leaving

tomorrow after I get off work. Should be there about 6 or 7, as doing an early

registration works for me. I'm planning to party by the pool tomorrow eve.

My hubby is coming with & I....he'll be the one with the leash on, as he

hates big crowds. He has no idea whats in store for him, but we had to let

's other PSW go (who was supposed to come to the conference with us) is

blind, has a mustache & goatee. He'll be the one talking A LOT....or being

disruptive. (Except that he wants to go to the pizza co. Wed, so he might just

surprise me & cooperate.)

Hope to meet some of you from the list.

Was a great turnout at the conference. Wish I could have met people on the list,

but my hubby & son were both hyper & was having a hard time getting my hubby to

where he was supposed to be. (I'm NOT asking him to go next year.) I wasn't

doing much talking either; having coughing problems if I talk to much.

Sherri, I was the lady in the pink jacket at the session you did this morning.

Was glad I was able to get my question answered after the session was over;

cause it was freaking me out a little trying to figure out how to keep his

Medicaid under $2,000; as sometimes we've gone over. Sometimes I've had to

spend his money on things he doesn't really need, because I can't save it for

things he might need; even though he's not working, so doesn't need much.

Liz, in 2010, SSA found that we went over one month (they don't give you credit

for uncleared checks) and are deducting 10% from Angel's SSI check until that

one month is repaid.

When SSA reviews your bank account, if they see any month over $2000 (even if

it's a couple of bucks), they will do the same to you.

SOMETHING TO REMEMBER:

 

Income is income the month it is received. Anything left over in the next month

is an asset.

 

Example:

I get paid on Friday & receive my check for $500. This is counted as income.

I deposit this check into my bank account. This is NOT counted as an asset for

this month.

 

Therefore:

SSI should look at your balance, SUBTRACT income deposited that month - to get

your true asset for that month.

 

I am seeing SSI asking for money back and/or cutting people off SSI for too many

assets - when, in fact, they are counting income as income AND AS an asset for

the same month.

 

FYI

, Thanks for that info, because I hadn't really thought about that. I

haven't put anymore into 's savings acct :0( But I've been able to keep him

under the $2000 limit now.
