When Does Social Security Send Out Tax Earnings Statements

Does the Social Security Administration monitor your bank account if you have Social Security Disability Insurance Income?

SSDI - Not unless you owe the Federal Govt. money, such as taxes or student loans, also child support obligations.SSI - Yes. There is an agreement with the state, although you won’t find it even if you look, that if you receive Medicaid or Food Stamps, they can look into your bank accounts. This is besides the SSI, but can’t be garnished.You also have limits on SSI on your asset values, it varies by state, but most states the limit is $2,000 held in a bank account, especially if you use Medicaid or Food Stamps. SSDI = no limits.But don’t be fooled with SSI. States have something called “Medicaid Estate Recovery Program (MERP)”, please Google. This is essentially a state-run, full-time collection agency looking for you to abuse a state program. They can and do look at your bank accounts.I had Medicaid and Food Stamps. My DHS worker messed up my Food Stamp amount. 3 years later, I got called in to a DHS office, but it wasn’t them, it was the MERP jerks, threatening to have me arrested for over-payment of Food Stamps. It was DHS’s fault, but they do not care, at all. They are a bully collection agency approved by the govt. and they do whatever they want, inc. the ability to see your bank accounts.
