Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between SSI and SSDI?
SSI (Supplemental Security Income) is a needs-based program for people with limited income and resources. SSDI (Social Security Disability Insurance) is for people with a work history who have paid into Social Security through taxes. SSI does not require a work history.
What are the asset limits for SSI in 2026?
To qualify for SSI, your countable resources must be worth no more than $2,000 for an individual or $3,000 for a couple. Some assets, like your primary home and one vehicle, are typically excluded from this calculation.
How does income affect my SSI payment?
The SSA subtracts your 'countable income' from the maximum monthly SSI benefit. Some parts of your income are ignored (like the first $20 of most income and the first $65 of earned income). Every $2 you earn over the limit reduces your SSI check by $1.
