Not advice. This sketch is practice math from parameters dated 2026 — it is not a benefits decision and not financial advice. Confirm everything with a benefits counselor or the Social Security Administration.

SSI math, dated 2026

The SSI slider turns an hourly wage and weekly hours into monthly earnings, then sketches how countable income could shift a check. The parameters carry a 2026 version stamp, so an old sketch never pretends to be current law.

Use the sketch to rehearse questions for a real counselor — “if I worked this many hours, what should I ask about?” — and save a run only when you want to keep the question, not the answer.
