Social Security question

[alironz]

Do I add social security to other income in means test?

[RainMoM]

Yes, you do have to count SS on the means test ..

[aljohnson007]

You do not include SS on the means test but you do include on Schedule I.

You do not include SS on the means test but you do include on Schedule I.

AJ007 is correct. You *do not* include Social Security income on the Means Test. You *do* include it on Schedule I. (Completely goofy, I know. Thanks a bunch for writing this really bad law and then worse, passing it overwhelmingly, 2005 US House and Senate.)

[RainMoM]

I'm sorry.. thats what i ment, Schedule I.. I knew it had to be added somewhere, again im sorry

Once included on Schedule I, it does depend how it is handled as to the district, state, and trustee's take on that bad law on how social security income should be applied in this case. We are walking testimony of what I just said. But, it truly depends on the individual's income and expenses, and much more.

We are a plus $481 on our schedule I and J with our Social Security included. Nothing was mentioned at the 341. Our attorney said it shouldn't be a problem. We are 40 days into the 60 on our ch. 7 and so far he is right. Keeping my fingers crossed.
