Yes, SS retirement income can be counted. Document with the benefit declaration from Social Security. However, I'm pretty sure nobody has $6,600 a MONTH in SS income. One could have that much in non-taxable income but not in SS income alone.

the max a person can get is about half what your friend is reporting. I would beware of relying on this person , he lack an honesty factor.

He could be correctly stating his retirement income, and there's just a misunderstanding about the sources. He'll have to document all sources of current income, on any affidavit of support.
