Social security attorney, a review
In order to be approved for SSI, you must generally have less than $2000 in a bank account for a single person, or less than $3000 for two people. However, you will want to talk to a social security lawyer about the specific requirements for your state. Q: Will they take away my benefits if I sell my house and make money off of it? A: The answer to this question will vary from case to case, and it is a good idea to speak with a social security lawyer in this situation. If you do make money from the sale of a home, the amount of money you make will be the deciding factor in the effect on your SSI. If the profit from your home takes you over the "allowable value" of your resources at the beginning of the month, you will not be eligible for benefits for that month.
