2129. How is income defined for SSI purposes?
Income is anything you receive during a calendar month that is used or could be used to meet your needs for food or shelter. It may be in cash or in-kind. In-kind income is not cash; it is food, shelter, or something you can use to get food or shelter.

SSI benefits are not taxable
No, Supplemental Security Income payments are not subject to federal taxes, so you will not receive an annual form SSA-1099.
However, if you also receive Social Security benefits, they may be subject to income taxes.
