If there are any past payments left over after the nine-month period, they will count as resources.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
What You Need to Tell Social Security<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
If you are single, tell Social Security if your resources are more than $2,000. If you are living with your husband or wife, tell Social Security if your combined resources are more than $3,000.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
If you have a child who gets SSI, you should tell Social Security about changes in the things the child owns AND the things you and your husband or wife own.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
If you agreed to sell property so you could receive SSI, you should tell Social Security when you sell it. If you do not sell the property, you may not be able to get any more SSI payments. And, you may have to return any payments Social Security already sent you.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
If your name is on any bank account with another person, you must tell Social Security about the account, even if you do not consider the money to be yours. You must tell Social Security about the account, even if you do not use the money or account. If someone wants to add your name to an account, check with Social Security first. If the money is not really yours, or if it is for a special purpose like your medical expenses,\u00a0Social Security can tell you how to set up the account so it will not affect your SSI.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
If you (or your husband or wife) buy, sell or become the owner of any real estate, a car or personal property, you need to tell Social Security.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Call\u00a0Social Security if you are not sure if something counts.\u00a0Social Security will help you figure it out.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
If You Get Help with Living Expenses<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Let\u00a0Social Security know if someone gives you money, food, or free housing. Also, tell us if anyone helps pay for your food, utilities, rent, or mortgage or if the amount someone pays you changes. If you used to get help with expenses and do not get it now, tell us that, too.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
