Will a Child Tax Credit (CTC) payment affect my Supplemental Security Income (SSI) eligibility or payment amount?

Will a Child Tax Credit (CTC) payment affect my Supplemental Security Income (SSI) eligibility or payment amount?

While the CTC is not considered disaster assistance under our rules, we do not consider the CTC as income and resources for 12 months for SSI purposes. Receiving the CTC will not affect your SSI.
