The Social Security Administration refers to “assets” as “resources.” Resources are things like money, or items you own and can turn into cash, like property, stocks, bonds, and bank accounts. We explain what counts, what does not count as a resource, what the limits are for 2021, and why people are calling on those limits to be changed.
