Jake filed an initial application and received a Notice of Denial dated May 2, 2017 on May 5, 2017. When
is the appeal due? ✔✔Start counting with the date after the date of the notice (5/3). 5/3 plus 60 days =
7/1. BUT...we have to add in the 5-day assumption to get to the technical due date. 7/1 plus 5 =
7/6/2017. Jake has to submit an appeal 7/6/2017 or earlier for it to be considered timely filed.
Jack, who has not done any work since 2012 and has been on the Ticket to Work program since 2014,
feels better due to new medication. He is able to find a job and starts working full time on June 15,
2018. He earned $789 the month of June and $2378 in July. The stress of working got to him and he
had to stop on August 4th making his total earnings in August $182. How many trial work months did
he use during this work attempt? ✔✔He only used one. The work done in June and August was under
SGA and therefore did not count as a TWP month.
Morgan is twenty years old and currently lives with her mom and step-dad and they do not require her
to pay rent or contribute to buying groceries. What would SSA consider this income source? ✔✔*Test
Tip: Income does not have to be cash to be counted against a claimant.*
In-kind income. Morgan is receiving support from her parents in the way of food and lodging;
therefore, SSA will determine that she is receiving "in-kind" support/income.
, Steve works part time to make ends meet and he earns $891.00 gross the first month he works. Without
the earned income disregards, his income would put him over the SSI limit for earnings - which is known
as the Federal Benefit Rate (FBR). The current FBR for 2022 is $841 for individuals and $1,261 for
couples. At this earnings level, he would be disqualified from receiving SSI for that month. If SSA applies
the disregards properly, how much will SSA deduct from his FBR and what will his monthly SSI payment
be? ✔✔To find this calculation, we start with $891.00 (Steve's current earnings) and subtract the first
disregard of $20.00 to get $871.
From $871.00, we subtract the second disregard of $65.00 to get $806.00. We then divide that total,
$806.00 by 2 (or in half) to get $403.00 as countable income. So Social Security will deduct $403.00
from the FBR (currently $841) for the month: $841 - $403 = $438. Ultimately, $438 will be payable to
Steve as an SSI payment.
Sam receives $640 in SSI benefits each month. He recently received
$100 from his sister. How much will his next SSI payment be reduced by? ✔✔*Unearned Income*
His next payment will be reduced by $80, making it $560. Unearned Income is deducted dollar for
dollar, but the first $20 is excluded.
Travis is 22 and lives with his mom and dad at their home. They do not have an agreement for Travis
to pay rent for his room or for him to pay for his portion of the utilities or food. Will SSA consider this
"unearned" income? ✔✔*In-Kind Support*
Yes, SSA will consider this arrangement "in-kind" support which is a form of "unearned" income.
Travis is 22 and lives with his mom and dad at their home. They do not have an agreement for Travis to
pay rent for his room or for him to pay for his portion of the utilities or food. The federal benefit rate
for 2022 is $841. Assuming Travis has no additional income sources (earned or unearned), what would
his monthly SSI benefit be? ✔✔*One Third Reduction Rule (TVR)*
