If you have a foreign passive income like interest income or capital gains income - does it count towards SSI eligibility?

I learned that if you have a countable income - your ssi (supplemental security income) - it can reduce your monthly ssi benefit.

But what if you are senior citizen and  lived in foreign county for last 3 years and earned passive income (interest and capital gains income) - and now if you plan to come to USA ...and that passive income still continues - this passive income will reduce or stop the monthly  supplemental security income ?

 

Same question about countable resources more than $2000 in value - i.e. if those assets are in foreign country?

The Social Security Administration website should have the information you need concerning SSI payments.
