in-kind support and maintenance (ISM)

A quick definition of in-kind support and maintenance (ISM):

In-kind support and maintenance (ISM) is when someone receives help with their food or housing expenses from someone else. This can be a family member or someone outside of the household. For people who receive SSI, this help is considered income and can cause their monthly allowance to be reduced.

A more thorough explanation:

In-kind support and maintenance (ISM) is a type of income that an SSI recipient receives in the form of shelter or food. This income is not earned, meaning the recipient did not work for it. It can come from anyone, including family members who live in the same household or people outside of the household.

For example, if a person receives SSI benefits and lives with their parents, and their parents provide them with food and shelter, this is considered ISM. The value of the ISM is then subtracted from the person's SSI benefits.

Another example is if a person receives SSI benefits and lives with a roommate who pays for all the groceries and rent. The value of the groceries and rent that the roommate pays for is considered ISM and is subtracted from the person's SSI benefits.

In summary, ISM is a type of income that is not earned and is provided in the form of shelter or food. It can cause a reduction in a person's SSI benefits.
