Does anyone know if alimony is considered income for determining disability? My Mom is physically and psychologically disabled according to her doctors and has been unable to work for some time now. However, every time she goes to the Social Security office they say she receives too much alimony. She is paying a great deal for insurance, with a very high deductible, $700 a month for medicines, as well as major medical bills. She is at the point of needing better housing and yet cannot qualify for it because she isn't deemed disabled by Social Security. It seems that alimony would be an "earning" much like interest, wouldn't it? Anyone have any ideas or experience? Thanks!
