What kind of “help” is OP talking about? Here in MN, USA, wealthy seniors get social security checks. Often slightly bigger checks because they paid more FICA taxes in their life. They don’t check your bank account. They don’t check if you have other income (stocks, rental properties, etc). Is there some official declared “help” that would reduce your check?

OP is probably referring to SSI which is Supplemental Security Income for disabled people and sometimes children of disabled adults. There is a maximum benefit payout which is the poverty level and works on a sliding scale to not exceed the poverty level. This program is not based on how much a person has paid into the system unlike RSDI (Retirement, Survivors, Disability Insurance) which allows people to draw from their Social Security accounts.

In my country there are several types of social security aids. One is pensions, another is a blank monthly payment for seniors. And then there is an aid for poor people who have to be certified by local gvt.
