  • In March of 2024, the Social Security Administration made some updates to how SSI payments are calculated - and these changes can benefit people who depend on these monthly payments to get by!
    SSI, or Supplemental Security Income, helps people who are not able to work due to a disability. The rules regarding how these payments are calculated can get complicated. They just became a little easier though!
    In this video, Ellen will discuss how SSI payments are calculated, what new changes have been made for 2024, and what to expect if you or someone you love is receiving these payments.
    PLEASE NOTE: In this video we use the California SSI number of $1183/month; the federal amount is $943/month, and some states (including California) supplement this very low amount.

    The $2000 asset limit for single/$3200 married needs to be raised to count for inflation!!! HUD needs to change the rule that the whole distribution from Special Needs Trust counts as income to calculate monthly rent payments from the tenant . Since I work not receiving Social Security or Medicaid I decided not to create a Special Needs Trust to receive my $325,000 inheritance. I been in HUD Permanent Supportive Housing program before receiving my inheritance. I chose to received the inherited assets in my name since the assets do not count against being in HUD housing. I am am lucky to have a disability and not be shackled with stupid government asset and income limit rules!!!

    Thank you for a very informative video. Since last July Ssi in Placervill CA , reduced $300 dollars of my mom’s check just because she lives in a special zip code. I helped her to appeal the case twice but they rejected her request twice. She has to deal with credit card debt now because of not receiving $300 monthly 😱
    I think Ssi should check some of the branches and help some of the very vulnerable people in the area.

    I am supposed to inherit the house I live in. The yearly property tax is around $10,000. So if I got SSI, I would only have around $4,000 left, for the year??? What if my brother succeeds in stealing all my inheritance money? Where else can I get money? 😭😭

The problem is, he’s also trying to steal my house- and if he’s the landlord, I guarantee he won’t allow anyone but me to live there ☹️ But even if I owned it, I’ve heard creepy stories of renters who refuse to leave. The renters laws are so strong, some people have been unable to kick a person out of their own home!!! So I don’t want to risk that 😱

      That sounds like a difficult situation. I usually recommend that parents leave cash along with a property to pay for property taxes, upkeep of the property, etc. Hopefully you’ll inherit more funds for these purposes.
