Conditional Benefits - Beginning and Ending - Iowa

Conditional benefits begin the month after the agreement is signed if you meet all other eligibility requirements. If you are eligible for Supplemental Security Income (SSI), the period is the period granted by SSI.

Benefits continue for up to nine months while you are trying to sell real property, and for up to three months while you are trying to sell personal property. For personal property, a second three-month period can be allowed for good cause. See Verifying Efforts to Sell Resources. Also see Good Cause for Failure to Sell Property.

If you are or were an SSI recipient, the conditional benefit period as determined by the Social Security Administration is used. If you previously received SSI and used up the nine-month period, you do not receive a new nine-month period if you apply for State Supplementary Assistance.

Conditional benefits end:

·        Upon closing the sale of the property.

·        When sale is no longer being attempted.

·        When the specified time period has expired, e.g., at the end of the nine months for non-liquid resources.

·        When liquid resources exceed 300% of SSI benefit for either a single person or married couple.

·        When countable resources come within resource limits.
