SSI or the Supplemental Security Income benefit payments are for low-income Americans. Apart from having little or no resources and little or no earnings, you must have a qualifying disability, or be blind or 65 years old or older.
Since SSI payments are for American citizens in need, it is of vital importance that Social Security sends money to only those who really need it. Overpayments are frequent in this Supplemental Security Income payment.
Are your SSI payments under review?
Every now and then, the Social Security Administration checks your financial situation to check your eligibility for Supplemental Security Income payments in the United States. SSD does so to check you receive the correct amount every month.
Bear in mind that if your SSI payments are under review, the Social Security Administration will ask you about your income. Of course, SSA will also want to know more about the resources and money on hand you have.
Any living arrangements will be necessary to work out the full amount of your Supplemental Security Income payment. Since your situation can improve or get worse, you may need a more accurate amount. Do not forget that things may change over time.
SSI and rederterminations
If you have never heard of determinations, let’s have a close look at it because they are essential when it comes to these monthly benefits. Redeterminations happen when the SSA reviews your non-medical eligibility factors.
That is, all that we have mentioned before. For example, living arrangements, income, and resources. For your information, you should report any changes that could affect your eligibility. Thus if you get married you should report it.
When the Social Security Administration carries out a redetermination process, it will also review the resources, living arrangements and income of your spouse. In the same way, if you have a child under 18 with a disability on SSI, the SSA will also check parent’s income, resources and living arrnagments.
