in case anyone's wondering, the maximum ssi amount in 2026 is $993 a month. they cut that if you get any other money from any other source at all. like, if someone tries to give you money for christmas presents or you try to do some work for uber so you can save up for something, ssi will take it out of your monthly amount so you basically never go over $993. they really, really hate us.
you very famously cannot marry if youre disabled and on ssi in america bc then you and your spouses income are counted as one income and any income over 993$ will result in you getting kicked off of ssi and youll likely be forced to repay every cent of ssi you ever received
