Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is one of the programs the Social Security Administration utilizes to pay benefits to the certain people based on financial need. These benefits are not funded by Social Security taxes but by general tax revenues and aid to provide cash to meet basic needs for food, clothing and shelter.

Do I Quality For SSDI Benefits?

To be eligible for monthly SSI benefits, you must have limited income and resources.  Additionally, you must fit in one of the following categories and:



• Age 65 or older
• Blind 
• Disabled 

Because SSI benefits are need based, there are strict limits on income, resources and assets.  To be eligible for benefits, an individual must have less than $2000 in countable assets and a couple must have less than $3,000 in countable assets. If you are unsure if you qualify for SSI benefits,  you may contact your local Social Security Administration’s field office.
