Document Number: E6-12942
Type: Rule

Agency: Social Security Administration, Agencies and Commissions
We are revising our regulations on how we determine an individual's income and resources under the SSI program based on the SSPA of 2004, enacted on March 2, 2004. Some of the provisions of the SSPA make a number of changes in the way we determine income and resources including: How we calculate infrequent or irregular income; what interest and dividend income we exclude; how we count cash military compensation; and when we exclude gifts for tuition or educational expenses from income or resources. We are also applying the exclusions required by the SSPA when we determine the countable income and resources of an ineligible spouse or ineligible parent.
