Buying a home family loaning money I am on SSI?

Money for a home that is a loan is not considered income.

That should answer your question.

PS: Roger is confusing SSI with welfare.

2sense is correct...see a real estate attorney to make sure it gets set up like a loan. A recorded note is going to be a must..if he hands you cash to buy then YES that would be income.

There is nothing wrong with owning your own home and receiving SSI. SSI is for disability income. Whether you rent or own shouldn't matter. As long as the loan is stipulated on paper which you can show if you need to, then there is no problem. The only way I see that could affect you is if you had a lump sum of cash. Since it's a loan toward a home, the contract should suffice. I don't think you have anything to worry about. Check out the SSI website..

You can own a home and still get SSI and you can have up to $2K in other assets.

It is really rough trying to live on it and without family would be nearly impossible. My cousin gets it and his parents got him a mobile home on their farm so he shares their driveway. That way he can come to his parents for meals on days he can walk and when he can't his mom can bring him food. It is getting worse all the time his dad has had bad strokes and his mom has had cancer they are in their 80s so if he doesn't die soon might out live them and have nobody to take care of him.

check their site. or call the 800 number. check the books they send you.it used to be possible because of necessity

If you have any assets of significant value (house, big car) you cannot get SSI,

Why should you take money from taxpayers when you have assets you can use to support yourself.

Why do people ask me to care for them and the family.

Your parents should be helping you out, not the government

Try a job from home to help you
