EDPNA Sample Test With Questions and Answers

EDPNA Sample Test With Questions and Answers Travis is 22 and lives with his mom and dad at their home. They do not have an agreement for Travis to pay rent for his room or for him to pay for his portion of the utilities or food. The federal benefit rate for 2022 is $841. Assuming Travis has no additional income sources (earned or unearned), what would his monthly SSI benefit be? ANSWER *One Third Reduction Rule (TVR)* Travis would receive a monthly benefit check of $560.67 after the ⅓ reduction rule is applied. Paul lives with a friend in a small apartment and SSA had sent him a notice with his monthly amount reduced by 1/3 because he is not paying rent. He comes to you, his representative, because he feels this is unfair as his rent would not be worth more than $150. ANSWER *Presumed Max Value* If he can establish his pro-rata share of the value of that shelter is only $150.00 then Social Security would only deduct $150.00 from his SSI check instead of fully reducing his check by 1/3.

ANSWER *resources* Maybe. The first vehicle does not count regardless of its value. The second would be counted as a resource, but if its equity value - meaning the current market value minus what she owes on it, is less than $2000 then she could still be eligible for SSI because she is under the $2,000 limit. Or, if she is married and living with her husband, that limit would be $3,000.
