SS disability I don't think can be counted but most other forms of pay can.

I've spoken to three attorneys about this and they ask have confirmed that SS can be counted. However, I would call a local attorney near you and just ask about your specific situation.

So if it's SSi you can't use it. But you may be able to use other stuff.

Yes, to be clear that was my meaning, SSDI is countable. Thanks for the helpful links NLR!
