I think we want to sum it by household

SSI is a per member benefit except for the marital unit. So, if the child qualifies for SSI, we would not want that to be counted.

Could you add a source for this? AFAIUI, spouses could get different portions of the marital unit's total SSI, based on the personal income of each spouse; it's not automatically split 50/50.

My understanding is that if both spouses are eligible for SSI, they would only receive one check.
FYI, I just realized that I used the wrong variable. Just changed it to use ssi_marital_both_eligible
