Xiaoyong An O'Neal Plaintiff - Appellant v. Nancy A. Berryhill, Acting Commissioner of Social Security; SSA Office of General Counsel Defendants - Appellees
Appeal from United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - Cape Girardeau [Unpublished] Before BENTON, BOWMAN, and SHEPHERD, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM.
Xiaoyong An O'Neal appeals an order of the district court affirming the Commissioner's denial of supplemental security income (SSI) following a hearing before an administrative law judge (ALJ). O'Neal argues that the ALJ erred in determining that she is financially ineligible to receive SSI benefits because she is a single individual with "countable resources" in excess of the statutory $2,000 limit. See 42 U.S.C. § 1382(a); 20 C.F.R. § 416.1201. Having jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, this court affirms.
The Honorable E. Richard Webber, United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Missouri, adopting the report and recommendations of the Honorable John M. Bodenhausen, United States Magistrate Judge for the Eastern District of Missouri. --------
Following de novo review, this court finds no legal error and concludes that substantial evidence in the record as a whole supports the ALJ's determination. See Draper v. Colvin, 779 F.3d 556, 559 (8th Cir. 2015).
The judgment is affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
