What Happens When You Spend Money From A SSI Burial Fund?

Officially speaking, if you spend money from your SSI burial fund on items which are not funeral related, there “may be a penalty”!

That’s pretty vague really isn’t it, “may be a penalty”, are we then to presume that alternatively there “may not be a penalty”?

Probably a good idea not to spend anything from your SSI Burial Fund at all until it’s needed for your funeral, but if you get really strapped for cash you need to weigh up all of the pros and cons and decide whether it’s worth taking the risk – on second thoughts you’d better leave it where it is, you never know when you might need it for the original purpose. Forget about it, it’s gone.
