How Will My Social Security Be Affected If I Sell My House?

I am a widow on social security with xtra help, snap benefits, and draw a pension. If I sell my house how will my social security be effected?



Hi. Your Social Security benefits would not be affected by the sale of a house. However, both Medicare extra help and SNAP benefits are needs based, so those benefits could potentially be stopped or reduced if you sell your home.

Best, Jerry
