Persons who receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI/SSP) automatically meet the program's financial need requirements. Persons who have income higher than the limits for SSI/SSP may still be eligible for In-Home Supportive Services but they may be required to pay for part of the services they receive. In addition to the monthly income limits, there are also limits on the amount of resources that a person can own and still receive these benefits. Resources include items such as savings, investments, and certain types of property and personal possessions. However, there are exceptions that apply; not all income and resources must be counted. A social worker will review your individual situation.
