How much can my car be worth on SSI?
The SSA is not concerned with the value of the vehicle. Owning one $20,000 car won’t count hurt you. However, owning two cars that are valued at just over $1,000 will count against you. While that may seem odd, keep in mind that they are looking at this as if you could sell excess assets in order to pay bills, etc.
