A friend on candle is on social security because he was disabled on the job. I believe he will not return to work. I am confused about this statement.
The sponsor may not count any means-tested benefits (food stamps, Supplementary Security Income, Medicaid, Temporary Assistance to Needy Families, or State Child Health Insurance Program) as income, but he or she may include retirement benefits, unemployment compensation, workman's compensation, or other similar benefits. Earlier policy memos explained that sponsors are able to include both taxable and nontaxable income, such as disability and child support payments, as part of the total household income. Until USCIS or DOS issues further guidance, proceed as if those interpretations are still in effect.

Can he use his disability insurance provided by social security or not. He is trying to bring his fiance over and the VO said they need more income. By reading this he does not think he has any income at all that he can use. Confused.....
