does owning property affect social security retirement benefits?

1. No, you are entitled to it because you paid into it over the years.
2. you can own as much property as you want too without it affecting any of your SS benifits. you earn those and will keep them. they might and might not be taxable
3. No! But, if you're looking to get in a Senior Citizen Gov't regulated Housing...then YES!
4. No, it has nothing to do with owning property. Do the automatic bank deposit. Social security will have it sent straight to your bank for automatic deposit. It's safer and you won't have to pay for them to send it to your home.
5. NOPE. SS is based on wages earned, quarters worked, etc. Property ownership has no effect on SS payments, or eligibility. You and your employers contributed to the system during your working years.
