Can I Sell My House And Buy A House Out Of State If I'm On SSI?
I am on disability SSI can I sell my house? And buy a house out of state?
Hi. You could potentially sell your home and continue to receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI) as long as you use the proceeds to pay for a new home within 3 months of receiving the funds (https://secure.ssa.gov/apps10/poms.nsf/lnx/0501130110). The rules for SSI are tricky, though, so you should probably discuss your plans in advance with an SSI technical expert at Social Security.
Best, Jerry
