Assets are considered (including marital assets) for Supplemental Income benefits. (SSI)

Are you talking about RETIREMENT benefits? That is an entirely different matter than disability.

Age 52 ??? I have never seen anything about reaching age 52. Age 62, Yes, for early retirement benefits on one's own record or partial retirement benefits on the record of a spouse under specific conditions.

You reference SSI and SSD. I think I have either misunderstood your post or you are providing erroneous information. Either way, I think you should clarify. I have highlighted a few items in color that need either correction or clarification.

Any clarification will be appreciated.
