Default Does alimony count against SSDI ?
Does anyone know if they count alimony as income (that you can only have $200 a month of) or can you still get the whole amount of SSDI ?

Alimony, child support, anything like that is considered income.

If you are getting money from any source... it's considered income.

Typically it may vary state to state demending on each states' laws. For example, in Missouri child support is not considered income, whereas alimony is. As far as income tax purposes are concerned, the person paying for these two items can claim them as deductions.

In California, child support can be counted as income if you're buying something and you need to show additional income. The person who receives it pays no income tax on it.

The person who is paying it CAN NOT deduct it as a tax deduction

Nobody answered the original question. I believe the only income that will affect SSDI is W2, earned income. Income from investments does not count, also I believe any 1099 income doesn't. This does not apply to SSI benefits.

Thank You !

I know different rules can apply from state to state. Obviously, I'll check with a lawyer if/when I do get divorced. I just wanted to get a basic idea.

I know I had income working of $ 500 a month and it did not affect. But unearned income I am not sure about. (SSDI up to $900 a month)

I was layed off and now will get $75 a week and wonder if the unearned will affect me.
