Join me in my love of social security attorney
Your assets do matter if you are applying for Supplemental Security Income (SSI). SSI benefits are awarded based on need, so any income and assets you have must be considered. If you are unsure how to report your assets or confused about whether you qualify for SSD or SSI benefits, contact a Social Security claims representative or seek advice from a social security lawyer. Q: SS wants me to see one of their doctors. Do I have to? A: Not in all cases.
