Hi.
I am on SSI and i was wondering how a roommate would effect my benefits
I am thinking of moving into a $700 a month apt with a good friend of mine. the apt will be in my name (in the lease). she will pay her fair share of rent of $350 and fair share of the ultilities with a check every month with her own bank account.
She will buy her OWN food and i will buy mine with my own money.
Would SSI reduce my benefit because of this? i have read about living arrangements but it only talks about me living in somebodys elses home and paying or somebody paying ALL of my rent and food.
