Question: how much money can you make and still be on ssi?
Answer: In general, the income limit for SSI is the federal benefit rate (FBR), which is $783 per month for an individual and $1,175 per month for a couple in 2020. Remember, though, that not all income is countable, and so you can earn more than $783 per month and still qualify for SSI (more on this below).
