Does My Spouse’s Income Affect SSI?

Often yes. For SSI, a spouse’s income and resources may be deemed to you when you live together, subject to exclusions and calculations.

Deeming basics

SSA may count some of a spouse’s income when deciding SSI eligibility and payment.

SSDI is different

SSDI generally does not use the same household deeming rules as SSI.

Bring pay stubs

Accurate spouse income details matter when reviewing SSI issues.
