People can only qualify for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) if their resources (assets) are no more than $2,000 or $3,000 for a couple. As such, it is a needs-based program. In other words, if I have $2,001 in my bank savings account I might lose my benefit. What do you think of this policy? Is the limit too low, too high or just right? Do people try to find ways around this limit? How?
