SSI Income Limits in Ohio: What You Need to Know

Hey Ohioans, let's dive straight into something I get asked about all the time: SSI income limits. It's a bit dry (I promise I'll keep it interesting), but understanding these limits is crucial:

1. The Basic Limits:

   • Single individuals have different income and asset limits than married couples. As of this year, the asset limit is typically $2,000 for individuals and $3,000 for couples.

2. What Counts as Income?:

   • SSI counts nearly everything—earned wages, pensions, and even gifts from family. (Yep, even that $20 bill grandma slipped you counts.)

3. Tips for Staying Within Limits:

   • Plan carefully, track your monthly earnings closely, and communicate promptly with the Social Security Administration about changes.
