Does My SS Disability And Pension Count When Applying For Assitance?
When applying for assistance with energy programs or food stamps, does my disability SS payments and pension count as income, or only my disability check. I don't want to be deceptive when they ask for my "income" and am not sure if I have to tell them about the pension. I am trying to figure out if I qualify and I'm not sure if the pension counts as far as my income. I'm in NJ
Thank you
Hi,
I assume that all of your income would count, but I don't have any expertise in the assistance programs you mentioned. You should probably direct your question to the agency that administers those programs.
Best, Jerry
