Here is some info. I looked up for you in regards to what Social Security counts as assets. You may have already gotten this in the form of a handout from SS:
Your home and the land that it is on do not count if it is your primary residence. Depending on how much they are worth and how they are used, household goods, personal property and a car may not count. Life insurance with a face value of $1,500 or less per person usually does not count. Up to $1,500 in burial funds for you and up to $1,500 in burial funds for your spouse do not count. Burial plots for you and your immediate family also do not count.
Resources they do count
Some of the things we do count are:
Cash;
Your checking and savings accounts;
Christmas club accounts;
Certificates of deposit; and
Stocks and U.S. Savings Bonds.
I know you're nervous, waiting and I'm just trying to help.
