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

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.

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.

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.
