I134 - Dependent of Joint Sponsor Question

[JD&JD 0]

Hi all,

 

I (petitioner) am disabled and am my mother's dependent.  I am planning on using my SSDI payments for the I134, however since I was young when I started receiving them, they are not enough and I need my mother as a joint sponser.  For reference, we both also live together. I understand that both my mother and I need to fill out the I134.  On the form where it says to list all income contributions from yourself/dependents/others you financially support, does my mom include my payments, since I am her dependent, even though I'll be putting them on my own form?  It just seemed odd to me that we will have two forms listing the same source of income and I don't want to get it wrong.

She claims me on her taxes but does not report the income.  I do not either as it's too little.  I know I would need to write a letter stating this when I submit my paperwork.

SSI  is not taxable

My son gets a letter each year stating the projected SSI income for the year with the monthly amount he will receive and what SS deducts for Medicare /make a copy of that and use for your income

Right, I receive SSI and SSDI.  The SSDI is under whatever the amount is that I don't need to file taxes because I was in my early 20s when I started receiving payments so they are also not huge.

 

Do I use the SSDI (not SSI) payments on my mom's I134 since I am my mother's dependent and it asks for dependent's income, even though I'll be listing the SSDI (not SSI) on my own form?

Hi all, just thought I'd share I spoke with an attorney so if anyone were to have this question in the future, there's an answer.  Do NOT count it twice.
