Will my SSI ever expire?
I have had SSI since August 2006. I am always scared that they might suddenly stop it even though my lifestyle hasn't changed.
I am thinking of moving out of my father's house and living with my sister in Chicago. I live in Wisconsin and am 19 yrs old.
I receive $720 a month living with my father and paying $200 a month in rent.
If I move to Chicago, will they change my SSI amount?
My rent would be much higher, around 600 a month [we'd split the original rent in half]. Which clearly isn't good with my current amount.
Would they make my SSI amount increase because of the rise in rent?
Could I lose my SSI because I moved to another state?
I have looked on the official site and it hasn't answered my questions; hence why I'm here.
Gah, this stuff is so confusing.
Answers:
A couple of questions first are you the surviving child of a deceased parent that attends school full time or disabled. If you are receiving survivors benefits they may stop when you leave home or graduate I am not sure as to them going up due to a rent increase I doubt that will happen if that were the case we wouldn't have so many older people worried about losing the place they live in. Best bet is to call the Social Security Office make an appointment and go ask your questions.
When we decide if your child can get SSI, we consider your child’s income and resources. We also consider the income and resources of family members living in the child’s household. These rules apply if your child lives at home. They also apply if he or she is away at school but returns home from time to time and is subject to your control.
If your child’s income and resources, or the income and resources of family members living in the child’s household, are more than the amount allowed, we will deny the child’s application for SSI payments.
For disability purposes in the SSI program, a child becomes an adult at age 18, and we use different medical and nonmedical rules when deciding if an adult can get SSI disability payments. For example, we do not count the income and resources of family members when deciding whether an adult meets the financial limits for SSI. We count only the adult’s income and resources. We also use the disability rules for adults when deciding whether an adult is disabled.
I would imagine that when you turned 18 you became an adult in the eyes of the SSA and had your case reviewed. CALL THEM.
1-800-772-1213
no the amount my change it could be more or may be less my husband had this problem before we lived in Florida and then we moved to north Carolina and it stayed the same. so we called the social security administration 1-800-772-1213 so just call them and they will tell you if it will stay the same or change. good luck!
