Often abbreviated as SSI, the Supplemental Security Income program is a program provided by the Social Security Administration that grants cash payments to disabled adults, disabled children, and senior citizens over 65-years-old that meet certain guidelines and requirements. These benefits can be very helpful for disabled people and their families, often proving life-changing thanks to the supplementary income that they provide.
Over eight million Americans receive Supplemental Security Income as part of this program, which allows them access to additional money that they may need due to their situation and particular needs. These benefits can be either temporary or permanent, depending on the nature of the condition and how it affects the person in question.
Who Gets SSI?
SSI is a means-tested program, meaning that it only provides payments to people under certain financial eligibility criteria. In order to qualify for SSI, a person must meet the financial eligibility, have a qualifying severe disability as designated by the Social Security Administration (SSA) that has lasted or is “reasonably anticipated” to last at least twelve months.
