the checker · the pack · the reminder

Know what counts before Social Security tells you it doesn't.

A $19 pack built from your benefits and state, with reminders so nothing goes unreported.

One time, not a subscription. Not advice. We do not speak to SSA for you.

Here is your February. We built the rest too.

A sample reporting calendar from the pack, with a household's own deadline and balance already filled in. Shown for illustration; figures are not a real buyer's.

The checker asks first.

Before you buy anything, see where you actually stand against the $2,000 or $3,000 resource limit.

You are $550 under the limit.

the pack

Four sheets, built from your answers.

Six short questions become a pack that fits your benefit, your state and your household. Every figure below is a sample.

resource tracker

Every account in one sheet, with exclusions marked and your distance to the limit totaled at the bottom.

CheckingYes$640
SavingsYes$810
ABLE accountNo$4,200
Countable total$1,450
reporting calendar

Every deadline that applies to your benefit, marked on the month.

Sample month. Days with something due are marked, and the highlighted 6th is the wage report deadline.
reporting log

A dated line each time you report, so you have proof if SSA asks later.

Feb 4 — wages reported, ref. 8841

Jan 6 — wages reported, ref. 8802

rules for your case

Because you have an ABLE account, its balance is excluded from your resource limit.

Four steps, in order.

Each step exists because a real person needed it before the next one.

  1. 01

    Read the rule

    Start from a question with an answer sourced to ssa.gov, not a guess.

  2. 02

    Run the checker

    Enter your balances and see your distance to the resource limit.

  3. 03

    Build the pack

    Six short questions about your benefit, state and household.

  4. 04

    Get reminded

    One email a month, on your day, for as long as you keep it.

The limit hasn't moved. Your life has.

A raise, a gift, a new account. Any of them can put you over a line set decades ago.

the reminder

The pack doesn't end at checkout.

A rule you followed today can change with your income next month. Once a month, on the day you pick, we email a plain reminder. Check your balances, check your calendar, update the log if anything moved.

Said plainly.

Is this legal or financial advice?
No. It is a tool that organizes public SSA rules around your own numbers. For your specific case, talk to SSA or a benefits counselor.
Do you talk to SSA on my behalf?
No. We never contact the Social Security Administration for you. You report; we just make it harder to forget.
Does this work for a representative payee?
Yes. The pack works the same way if you manage benefits for a family member or as a payee.
What happens after the reminder emails?
They keep coming, once a month, until you turn them off. There is no second charge.
