An individual’s benefit payment is reduced dollar for dollar by the amount of their “countable income”—income less all applicable exclusions—in a given month. Income in the SSI program includes “earned income” such as wages and net earnings from self-employment; and “unearned income” such as Social Security benefits, unemployment compensation, deemed income from a spouse or parent, and the value of in-kind support and maintenance such as food and shelter. Different exclusion rules apply for different types of income. .
