Social Security benefits—including Social Security Retirement, Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), and Supplemental Security Income (SSI)—do count as countable income when MassHealth evaluates your financial eligibility. Gross Social Security income must be fully reported during the application or annual renewal process, and it is factored directly into household calculations, though certain specific exclusions or deductions may apply depending on the exact coverage program.
