# §408.222. How does your other benefit income affect your SVB?

- (a) **Income began before you qualify for SVB.** If, at the time you file your application for SVB, your other benefit income is equal to, or more than, the maximum SVB payment possible (see [§ 408.505](/cfr/20/408.505.md)), we will deny your SVB claim. If it is less, we will reduce any monthly SVB payments you become entitled to by the amount of your other benefit income (see [§ 408.510](/cfr/20/408.510.md) for a description of how we make the reduction).
- (b) **Income begins after you qualify for SVB.** If you have been determined to be qualified for SVB, we will reduce any monthly SVB payments you become entitled to by the amount of your other benefit income (see [§ 408.510](/cfr/20/408.510.md) for a description of how we make the reduction).
