The SSI Trap: Is Getting Help Ruining Your Monthly Benefits?

Описание: If you receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI), your check could be cut by one-third if you accept help with basic living expenses—a penalty triggered by the complex "In-Kind Support and Maintenance" (ISM) rule. While a major 2024 update protects you from penalties for free food, receiving help with shelter costs is still a major financial risk.

In this video, I explain exactly how ISM works, the difference between the "One-Third Reduction" rule and the "Presumed Maximum Value" rule, and actionable strategies to protect your income. You will learn how to document your "Fair Share" of expenses and keep separate receipts to avoid these automatic penalties and keep your full benefit amount.
