Supplemental Security Income

Last updated: 12-Aug-2009

Will I lose my SSI income if I'm a paid caregiver?

My mother, who is on Social Security, lives with me. I am on SSI due to two bouts with breast cancer and secondary ailments. I am responsible for her 24/7. If I were to be paid for her care would I lose any of my income? Much of mine goes for extras for her. We live in New York.
