Does "wages" include only take home pay or should health benefits be included? And what about SSI?

Question

I have worked for a non-profit agency which lost county funding last year.  We get state grants and federal funding.  Until 2 months ago, I was paid for a 35 hour week at 7 hours daily at $18 an hour.

I also got $1100 monthly from SSI.  How do I calculate wages earned?  On gross monthly pay and SSI?

Answer 1

Firstly, check with your state if you can apply for UI benefits along with SS.

Some states don't consider both.
