SSI vs. SSDI: asset limits
To qualify for SSI, individuals can’t have more than $2,000 in assets, while couples can have up to $3,000.
The SSI income limit is more complicated, but it’s generally the same as the maximum benefit each month.
For SSDI, the monthly earnings limit is $1,350 for most claimants – but that is boosted to $2,260 if a beneficiary is blind.
