[@Changeurselfchangetheworld]

With rent food and groceries so high. SSI maximum should be at least $1200 $1300 these days. It's hard living off off $900. It's just not enough.

[@tiffneyhale6422]

I know right!! And they hardly give you any food stamps either, all I get is $165 a month😧

[@Changeurselfchangetheworld]

@@tiffneyhale6422 bro I used to get $194 a month and they reduced it down to $135 because of the cola increase this year. It seems like I can never break even.

[@marymotherofgod4861]

[@melodymordente-lm3bj]

[@melodymordente-lm3bj]

SSI HASNT GONE UP HERE IN ALVIN,TX FOR OVER 50 YRS!!!! IT NEEDS TO GO UP, WAY UP BUT ITS NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN IF SSI HASNT GONE UP IN WELL OVER 53 YEARS THEN ITS NEVER GOING TO GO UP BUT LETS HOPE IM WRONG!

[@JudethWilliams]

I only get SSI 943 a month. I never ever saw a 1000 on my SSI check my rent 850.00 and nobody else helps me with rent food or transportation or mycell phone.i am beyond poor Pennsylvania is always left out of any financial help.

[@danielnotah3670]

S.S.A. has to send you a letter stating if you'll be getting a increase or decrease on your benefits.That's how it works.

[@RaymondMartinez-l4x]

When are they gonna increase SSI payments?

[@ellencookman-EstatePlanningSNT]

Soon I hope! But given politics these days, it’s probably unlikely.

[@_Inferno_Fay]

Until they run out

[@maopticallabtech]

Jamuary 2024 will be the Raise will not no the amount mid- October 2024 most all other imformation is fake news on Ytube.

[@Billie-mu6kz]

Where do you get this that people are getting $1,100 SSI people in Alabama don't get with $943 so I don't know where you're getting your information you must be out there in California somewhere but we don't get that

[@dorahernandez1029]

Hi ellen, i feel so devastated, thata how much , they get.. its dirt poor and hardships the govt. Treating the people,.the poor this is why prostitution and crime theif are happening dont you think.. its whata happening in my neighborhood.. this is crazy a solution must be plan. If you would im a one man army trying to get a mass appeal, networking to advocate and speak out raise awareness, that this is going on, and let the people know those likely bit more furtunate and us dirt poor trying to put food in our plates. Its really heart devastation, mind buggling, really upsetting to us.. help me help us all, feel more comfortable, a worth while to livw honest, and faith to our goventment.. thank you,,,

[@GaryJ-dh7ci]

if only the gov was this smart i love it thanks smart lady

[@AmyMullane]

What about the fact that if your disabled and get food stamps when they increase the yearly cost of living for ssi (which for many years it was under 5 dollars or 0$ )they take a big chunk of you food stamps so in reality you got no increase and now they take a larger % out of food stamps so now you loose more food $ than the increase ssi total (so you basically got no cost of living increase and your food help also decreased when you add it all up,smh )can we talk about not decreasing our food stamps everytime there's a cost of living increase please

[@MLion-t2f]

Agree. And all ssi recipients, ss, ssdi should get the max snap benefit. Maybe those getting ssdi of 3800 can not, lol. Say anything over 2500 doesnt get snap. Why have snap if youre gonna constantly be taking it away, its supposed to help. Snap needs to be $500-600 per person a month. Its not cash so you would think they cohld feel less judgemental about that, considering its less likely to be used for drugs.

[@Richard-kh3dm]

I don't know anybody who's getting $1,100 a month I think you're lying to us

[@Fat12219]

😂😂😂😂 a big lie or a little lie 🤔

Like everybody else's videos just more bulshit

[@Daniel-uo8ee]

I promise to be there for you and you will not be disappointed in the medical records and disability claim I will do everything you ask or tell me to do God bless you

[@martinguldnerAutisticSwanGuru]

The $2000 asset limit for single/$3200 married needs to be raised to count for inflation!!! HUD needs to change the rule that the whole distribution from Special Needs Trust counts as income to calculate monthly rent payments from the tenant . Since I work not receiving Social Security or Medicaid I decided not to create a Special Needs Trust to receive my $325,000 inheritance. I been in HUD Permanent Supportive Housing program before receiving my inheritance. I chose to received the inherited assets in my name since the assets do not count against being in HUD housing. I am am lucky to have a disability and not be shackled with stupid government asset and income limit rules!!!

[@ellencookman-EstatePlanningSNT]

I totally agree! I think the SSI asset limit should be substantially increased (or maybe even eliminated)!

[@cocinadeclara2839]

How is that? My son is deseable and I want to rent my house to him but I can’t. I live in North Carolina. I will give to him free but I have to pay a mortgage. I am retired and 77 years old.

[@reality410]

Thank you for a very informative video. Since last July Ssi in Placervill CA , reduced $300 dollars of my mom’s check just because she lives in a special zip code. I helped her to appeal the case twice but they rejected her request twice. She has to deal with credit card debt now because of not receiving $300 monthly 😱 I think Ssi should check some of the branches and help some of the very vulnerable people in the area.

[@sandradavis368]

I got that. Letter because I tried to work and Social security was trying to take memory away

[@sandradavis368]

MONEY AWAY

[@reneebenoit5673]

Hello.i get SSI of 943 a month would that change

[@ellencookman-EstatePlanningSNT]

No, these changes don’t impact the amount of SSI one receives monthly; though that number increases slightly each year.

[@Fat12219]

That messed up 😮

[@kingkellz4077]

I don't know where they getting this info my rent is 889 my check is only 943.00 you do the math they not helping nothing or the people smh

[@waynecmontgomery]

You have to live in CA to get the extra money. The state provides an extra 239.00

[@phillipbrown4106]

What happen to the 200 a month we were suppose to get. What a joke.lets see what the next pres does for us on ssi. Ssdi . Vets too. Kids getting all that money. For what. Go to walmart and look in those carts leaving out the store someone said. Thats a stinking shame. I would pay on my credits first. Then splurge with kids. Not big screen tvs. I mean... man.

[@lisadenman9486]

This was very helpful ...

[@SelinaTaylor-n9u]

U act like thats a lot of money i pray that u people should have to live off of thst no its not helpful rent is 1200 so you got to live with some one yall need to lose yalls income and get a check 94 in 2024 should at least get 1200

[@gtsuby]

Great info, thanks. After some searching, I was able to find the SSA press releases and Federal Register links for the topics you discussed. It may be helpful to include these links in your description for others to reference on the complete details of the law changes and impacted time frame.

[@ellencookman-EstatePlanningSNT]

Great suggestion, thank you

[@carolynray4672]

I get 200 something on the first and 500 on the third wish they live on that

[@RubenRubinos]

hope, I can receive help. I was told I'm already maxed out because I'm already retired.

[@DonnaCooper-wl7wu]

I'm still waiting for this good news she was saying she had. And I really would like to know what country she lives in that pays 1100 a month.

[@ceeggsinspace4288]

Thank you for this information. I just had to do a review for SSI for my daughter in May. The interviewer asked me about how much she paid the household for rent. I told him It was average $750 a month depending on how much utilities were because we split it 4 ways. He did not mention anything about the $334/month Federal rule and also did not restore any of the deduction from her SSI. Maybe it will change in September.

[@marymotherofgod4861]

[@neinkalando2519]

I got SSI in 1990 when I was 21 and that is the only money I get which where I live is $998.04 a month

[@debbeet6309]

You keep saying 1100 a month but in reality most people with SSI only get $943 a month . Meanwhile rent water electric gasoline food all this had skyrocketed but the payment for SSI is only 943. After my quadriplegic son's bills are all paid he's got a whopping $110 for food a month. How pathetic

[@LittleLulubee]

PS. If I do receive a chunk of inheritance money, can I open the special needs trust myself? (for me to use). My mom is already senile, so it’s too late for her to set that up.

[@carolpitts668]

I surely haven't gotten an over payment.. also $943. 00. I could use that 1.083. a month ..

[@ellencookman-EstatePlanningSNT]

Yes, you should be able to create your own 1st party Special Needs Trust to protect your public benefits; I describe it in this video: How to Receive an Inheritance While on Public Benefits

[@LittleLulubee]

@@ellencookman-EstatePlanningSNT Thank you!

[@Fat12219]

No , 😮

[@LittleLulubee]

I am supposed to inherit the house I live in. The yearly property tax is around $10,000. So if I got SSI, I would only have around $4,000 left, for the year??? What if my brother succeeds in stealing all my inheritance money? Where else can I get money? 😭😭

[@leaannshook7207]

Rent out a room

[@LittleLulubee]

@@leaannshook7207 I’ve thought of that. The problem is, he’s also trying to steal my house- and if he’s the landlord, I guarantee he won’t allow anyone but me to live there ☹️ But even if I owned it, I’ve heard creepy stories of renters who refuse to leave. The renters laws are so strong, some people have been unable to kick a person out of their own home!!! So I don’t want to risk that 😱

[@ellencookman-EstatePlanningSNT]

That sounds like a difficult situation. I usually recommend that parents leave cash along with a property to pay for property taxes, upkeep of the property, etc. Hopefully you’ll inherit more funds for these purposes.

[@AXE1w791]

Today it's. Sep 30 I just I get. $480.dollars. N mi banco account always they send me $943 dollars. What happened to seguro social Americano SSI SSA veteran.

[@dragontears1963]

I only get $943 total I don't have any other income the only thing I have worth anything is my 2004 suzuki xl7 suv it's only worth maybe $4000 and needs repairs. Why do I only get minimum SSI? By the time I pay bills get house hold supplies , and a little food. and just enough gas to go grocery shopping I have nothing left, so the clothes I get are holiday gifts if I'm Lucky the 2.5% increase for 2025 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@DonnaCooper-wl7wu]

If she thinks anyone can save a dime at the end of a week living on SSI then she should try it. She would be singing a different tune in no time. I think it would be a real eye opener if all politicians had to try living on the 943 that we get for a month. I'm pretty sure they would change the way they think about the SSI program.

[@renaegreene9910]

how much is raise on SSI $943.00 - survivor benefit $1462.00

[@themermaidtree1144]

Disabled and cant even get SSI because they say my SSDI is too high to qualify and its barely over. I get $65 for EBT. Failing fast in this economy. With this inflation they shoulnt have an SSDI limit at all.

[@MLion-t2f]

Here to say! They need to raise the earned income disregard for ssi. $85 a month is evil snd deeply discriminative. And not to some weird math equation, to match the reality if what jobs pay.

[@Daniel-uo8ee]

Please send me the link for the application interview and see me through it that would be the best support for this clam that I have for you

[@troytrickel5757]

Those complaining about amount of ssi they get wow at least you get some. My wife and I make 75$ to much to get anything. You end up with more than we do

[@lynnj6052]

Ssi only supplements me a 100. And have no countable assets. Ive worked since ive paid into SS since i was 16 and now in my 60s. I know ive paid more in than able to get. With the prices the way the we need more help just not line the pockets of those who dont need it

[@tinahand9081]

When I got my first SSI back in 1988 all I received was $243.00 a month now they're give more than when I received mine. I the presidents should give us what's owed back all those years .. so.$700 x so is $25,200 per year they owe us.. it took 36 yrs to get not even close to $1,320 a month. Doesn't sound right, all congress and us Treasury needs go back to school!

[@waynecmontgomery]

Great video !!! You forgot to include that the shelter you receive from a nonprofit is exempt from the $344.00, also any energy assistance you receive from a nonprofit is exempt from that list.

It's not fair that they only talk about the senior citizens getting a raise but you guys need to start helping people that's under the age of 65 and receiving SSI in the amount of 943 and people on the on disability are only receiving 937 it's not fair to us that you guys are not helping us that way that you are helping senior citizens we are people too so you need to start helping us in that same way so please stop worrying about them I say again and start helping people that are under 65 because we are people too. As a new person that's making a decision on everything please I say again stop worrying about them only and help us as we need the help too I really can't say have a truly blessed day because I'll be lying to myself I was taught that God says he makes a decision on everything so I trust in him that you will make the right decision as he taught you!!!
