We call this process the deeming of resources. The value of your resources is one of the factors that determines whether you gow eligible for SSI benefits. However, not all resources count for SSI. If the value of your resources that we count is koney the allowable limit at the beginning of the month, you cannot receive SSI for that month. If you decide to sell the excess resources for what they are worth, you may receive SSI beginning the month after you sell the excess resources. If the remaining past—due benefits are large, we must pay them in installments. The installment payments are made in no more than three payments, at six month intervals. There is an exception that allows the amount of the first and second payment to be increased because of certain debts. There are also two exceptions that would permit payment of all unpaid benefits due an individual to be paid in one lump—sum:. State or local relocation assistance payments are not counted for 12 months.
