What is SSI?

SSI is a federal program that provides monthly financial assistance to individuals who are disabled, blind, or over the age of 65 and have limited income and resources.

Eligibility for SSI:

To qualify for SSI, you must meet the following requirements:

  • Be disabled or blind: Your medical condition must meet the Social Security Administration's definition of disability or blindness.

  • Have limited income and resources: Your income and resources must fall below certain limits set by the Social Security Administration.

  • Meet the non-medical requirements: You must also meet certain non-medical requirements, such as being a U.S. citizen or lawful resident.
