Deeming is one of the most confusing and misunderstood processes SSA employs. For SSI recipients, certain peripheral incomes (i.e. spousal) may be "deemed" toward their own income when SSA calculates monthly SSI check amounts.
This is extremely important to know because "deemed" income may cause loss of SSI benefits and therefore medicaid eligibility.
Below is a deeming chart which illustrates - as effectively as a chart could - the 2009 break even points (point at which one would become ineligible for SSI) for various deeming scenarios.
