This link in the toolbar opens up the main EM web page. It contains links to information that IncomeSSI Income is: Earned Income: Money received from wages, including from a sheltered workshop or work activity center, self-employment earnings, and some royalties and honoraria. Unearned Income: Money received from all other sources, e.g., gifts, interest, Social Security, Veteran’s benefits or pensions. Unearned income also includes "in-kind" income (free food, shelter, or clothing) and "deemed" income (some of the income of a spouse, parent or sponsor of an alien.) Maintenance workers need to do their job.
