Will a person on SSI lose their SSI benefit if he or she purchase a used RV and use that RV as car and or home?

Answered 5 years and a month ago by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Social Security Disability
The SSI asset limit of $2,000 excludes the home and one vehicle.  Since it would be very difficult to buy an RV for $2,000, you may be expecting other funds.  Please note that you must spend them in the month received in order to have no more than $2,000 in liquid assets at 12:01 a.m. on the first of the following month. ...

I have disability, I won 10000 at a casino. Can ss suspend all my earnings?

Answered 6 years and 2 months ago by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Social Security Disability
For SSDI, other income is not considered. For SSI, irregular income, such as casino winnings, is not considered in the month it is received.  If you, for example, contribute it to an ABLE Account before the end of the month, it will also not be considered in the following month.  You will still have direct access to the money.  See www.stable.org.  ...
