Webinar: In-Kind Support Maintenance

Justice in Aging is hosting a webinar to discuss the in-kind support and maintenance (ISM) rule. This rule would effect a person, for instance, who receives shelter and food from a friend or family member they live with. In many cases, this rule would cause Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits to decrease from $735 to $490 per month. The ISM rule causes much confusion for recipients, advocates, and the Social Security Administration (SSA). This webinar will explore the ins and outs of ISM, provide examples of how the rule works, and offer strategies for dealing with the rule.
