How Much Money Can I Have and Still Get SSI?
Written by Ronnie Shaw · Published September 27, 2026
SSI generally limits countable resources for an individual and a couple. Exact limits and exclusions change over time — confirm current rules and what SSA counts in your case.
Countable vs excluded
Some resources may be excluded. Bank accounts are often counted.
Why balances matter
Going over the limit — even briefly — can affect eligibility or create an overpayment.
