When receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI), there is no specific limit on the number of houses you can own. However, the value of your assets, including real estate, cannot exceed $2,000 for individuals and $3,000 for couples to remain eligible for benefits. Additionally, your primary residence is generally excluded from this asset limit. It's important to consult with a legal expert or a benefits counselor for personalized advice.

SSI does not include spousal benefits - each individual must be determined eligible on their own. The spouse/children might be eligible for TANF.
Inheriting a house can impact your Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits, as the value of the home may be considered an asset. If the inherited property is your primary residence, it typically does not count against the asset limit for SSI. However, if you inherit additional property or if the house is not your primary residence, its value may affect your eligibility for SSI. It's important to consult with a financial advisor or a legal expert to understand the specific implications for your situation.

Generally no. The home you live in is not considered a "resource" when considering SSI eligibility. See http://www.ssa.gov/ssi/text-resources-ussi.htm. But there are other significant eligibility requirements, and if your falsify your information or hide resources that affect eligibility (either on initial application or while receiving SSI), eventually your house could be jeopardized if the government comes after you to repay the ill-gotten monies. SSI fraud by the way is a felony...

The amount a person on disability can earn while owning a house varies depending on the specific disability program they are enrolled in. For example, Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) has no limits on earnings, but Supplemental Security Income (SSI) has strict income limits, typically around $1,600 per month for individuals in 2023. However, the income from owning a house, such as rent from tenants, may affect eligibility for SSI. It's essential to consult with a benefits specialist for personalized advice based on individual circumstances.
Yes, a person on Supplemental Security Income (SSI) can buy a house. However, the purchase must be carefully considered, as owning a home can affect their eligibility for SSI benefits. If the home is the person's primary residence and meets certain rules regarding asset limits, it may not count against their SSI eligibility. It's advisable for individuals to consult with a financial advisor or a benefits counselor to understand the implications fully.

No, people in California who receive SSI cannot get SNAP, which is the new name for food stamps. This is because California already adds money to the SSI payment. Many times, people can get SNAP while they are waiting for their SSI to be approved, and can continue to get SNAP if their SSI is not approved.
