Dated: March 21, 1997.

John J. Callahan,

Acting Commissioner of Social Security.

Policy Interpretation Ruling; Title XVI:

Supplemental Security Income—

Income—When Inheritances Become

Income

Purpose: To clarify the Social Security

Administration’s (SSA) longstanding

policy that State law must be taken into

account in determining the point at

which an inheritance becomes income

for purposes of the Supplemental

Security Income (SSI) program.

Citations (Authority): Section

1612(a)(2)(E) of the Social Security Act;

Regulations No. 16, Subpart K, sections

416.1102, 416.1121(g), and 416.1123(a).

Pertinent History: The point at which

something becomes income under the

SSI program derives from the regulatory

definition of income at 20 CFR

416.1102. Income is something an

individual receives and can use to meet

food, clothing, or shelter needs. An

implicit requirement of this definition is

that, for property other than cash to be

considered income, the individual who

receives it must have the legal right,

authority, and power to convert it to

cash (by selling it, for example). The

point at which something becomes

income is, necessarily, the point at

which it first meets this criterion.

The earliest point at which a cash

inheritance can be used to meet food,

clothing, or shelter needs is the point at

which State inheritance laws permit the

heir to spend it. The earliest point at

which inherited property other than

cash can be used to meet food, clothing,

or shelter needs is the point at which

State inheritance laws permit the heir to

convert the property (or his or her

interest in it) to cash.

In some States, an heir cannot dispose

of an inheritance until the estate is

closed. When this is the case, the

inheritance does not meet the regulatory

criteria to be considered income until

the estate is closed. In other States, an

heir may receive a contingency interest

in real property at the time of the

decedent’s death. The heir can sell this

contingency interest immediately, even

though perfect title to the property

cannot be conveyed until the estate is

closed and the value of the property

may be reduced accordingly or be

difficult to determine. However, when

the contingency interest can be valued,

this interest meets the regulatory criteria

to be considered income at the time of

the decedent’s death.

Since State law governs the point at

which inherited property first meets the

regulatory criteria for being considered

income, State law must be taken into

account in determining the point at

which inherited property becomes

income under the SSI program. This

includes cases in which State law

permits an heir to convert inherited

property to cash prior to distribution of

the assets, since failure to consider such

property as income unless and until the

assets are distributed would not be

consistent with regulations.

Policy Interpretation: The earliest

point at which an inheritance can

become income under the SSI program

is the point at which the individual is

free, under applicable State inheritance

laws, to spend the inheritance (if it is

cash) or to convert the inheritance to

cash (if it is not cash).

Effective Date: This Ruling which

merely clarifies SSA’s longstanding

policy on the treatment of inheritances

is effective on March 28, 1997.
