Benefits Income and Loan Eligibility
Lenders care about your ability to repay — not necessarily the source of your income. SSI, SSDI, veterans benefits, and pension income are all forms of regular, documentable income that many lenders in our network accept the same way they'd treat a paycheck.
What You'll Need
- A benefits award letter or 2-3 months of bank statements showing consistent deposits
- Valid government-issued ID
- An active bank account for direct deposit
