Tosefta for Peah 8:8

מִי שֶׁיֶּשׁ לוֹ מָאתַיִם זוּז, לֹא יִטֹּל לֶקֶט שִׁכְחָה וּפֵאָה וּמַעְשַׂר עָנִי. הָיוּ לוֹ מָאתַיִם חָסֵר דִּינָר, אֲפִלּוּ אֶלֶף נוֹתְנִין לוֹ כְאַחַת, הֲרֵי זֶה יִטֹּל. הָיוּ מְמֻשְׁכָּנִים לְבַעַל חוֹבוֹ אוֹ לִכְתֻבַּת אִשְׁתּוֹ, הֲרֵי זֶה יִטֹּל. אֵין מְחַיְּבִין אוֹתוֹ לִמְכֹּר אֶת בֵּיתוֹ וְאֶת כְּלֵי תַשְׁמִישׁוֹ:

One who has two hundred <i>Zuz</i> may not take <i>Leket</i>, <i>Shikhechah</i>, <i>Peah</i> or <i>Ma'aser Ani</i>. If he has one <i>Dinar</i> less than two hundred, even one thousand [people] simultaneously give him [a <i>Dinar</i>, he may take [them all]. If [his assets] are mortgaged to his creditor or his wife’s marriage contract, he may take. He is not obligated to sell his house or his [fine] clothes [in order to take agricultural gifts].

Tosefta Peah

One who [pretends to] blind his eyes or who swells his legs or blows up his belly [feigning illness] does not leave this world until it really happens to him (cf. Peah 8:9, Y. Peah VIII.8.3, Guggenheimer tr.).
