VerifiedMichael J, Esq. :
Hello - Thank you for contacting JustAnswer. My name is Michael; I look forward to helping you with your criminal problem today.
Michael J, Esq. :
According to the SSI online, loan money does not count as income and therefore does not reduce your benefits. http://www.ssa.gov/ssi/spotlights/spot-loans.htm
Michael J, Esq. :
However, that money does count as a "resource" and goes toward your limit.
Customer:
right ,but,I was over the asset limit several months of $3000 for a married couple.I always had like $5000 in my account.So I'm over the asset limit.But it is Loan money so will the charge me?and can I go to jail?Also,what about the welfare asset limit?I was over that also,and received Overpayments.I did not know I had to report loans
Michael J, Esq. :
Yes, the loans count towards your asset limit and you're supposed to report them. If you're over the limit for a certain month, you can't receive SSI for that month. Any money you received while over the limit is an overpayment.
Customer:
Ok,so will I go to jail or prison if they charge me for being over the asset limit?
Michael J, Esq. :
Most likely not. You'll have to repay the money and will be charged a fine on top of that most likely, but you should not do any jail time for this type of offense.
Customer:
Can they press charges on me for welfare fraud?
Michael J, Esq. :
If you failed to report assets, yes.
Customer:
ok so what am I looking at for charges.and can I go to jail
Michael J, Esq. :
Unfortunately, without your exact charges, it's hard to say.
Michael J, Esq. :
Again, I doubt you would do jail timoe.
Customer:
the charges would be Fraud and overpayments
Michael J, Esq. :
Can you give me the statute numbers?
Customer:
I am not sure I just know they want to charge me with welfare fraud,and overpayments
Michael J, Esq. :
Okay. Until I know the exact charges, I can't tell you what you're facing.
Michael J, Esq. :
IF they do charge you, you're welcome to come back to this thread and I'll look them up for you.
