Did you know that certain life changes can affect your Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments? Sometimes your circumstances may change after you apply for or begin to receive SSI. When that happens, it’s important for you to tell us about these changes. This will ensure that you receive the benefits to which you’re eligible.
Here are some common changes you must report if you have applied for or receive SSI:
* Changes in income, wages, or self-employment income;
* Starting, stopping, or changing jobs;
* Changing your address or persons moving in or out of the household;
* Changes in marital status (including any same-sex relationships);
* Having more than $2,000 if you are single or $3,000 if you are married in resources that you can cash in, sell, or use to pay for food and shelter; and
* Changes in resources, including money in financial accounts and buying or selling extra vehicles, stocks, investments, or property.
For a complete list of reporting responsibilities for all our programs, please read our publication, What You Need to Know When You Get Supplemental Security Income, at www.ssa.gov/pubs/EN-05-11011.pdf
