has its own general rules about qualification for SSI, and a social security lawyer should be able to help you with the general rules behind what is considered a "resource" in your state. See below for some of the things that are generally considered a resource, and which will be considered a part of your income. • Coins and Currency • Money in the Bank • Stocks and Bonds • Land, Homes, etc. • Life Insurance Policies • Automobiles • Personal Property Though it is possible to be approved for SSI if you own a vehicle and one home, owning too many assets or "resources" can reduce your chances.
