Question: Ms F. is drawing SSI benefits. During a redetermination she reveals that her mother died earlier in the year. As a result Ms. F and her sister inherited the mother's home, which has a fair market value of $250,000. Ms F. is not living in the house but her sister is. The sister has nowhere else to live. The fair market rental on the house is $1500 per month. Ms F. is:
- Ineligible for SSI because her interest in the house is worth more than $2,000
- Ineligible for SSI because of imputed rental income from her sister
- Eligible for SSI because her her joint interest in the house is not considered marketable
- Eligible because her sister is living in the house

And because sale of the house would cause undue hardship to the sister BECAUSE she has nowhere else to live. Guess she can't rent.
