What Is Supplemental Security Income (SSI)?

SSI is a federal assistance program that provides monthly payments to individuals with limited income and resources who are:

  • Age 65 or older
  • Blind
  • Disabled

Children with qualifying disabilities may also receive SSI.

In general, adults eligible for SSI must have monthly earned income below $2,019, though eligibility depends on several factors, including living arrangements and other resources.

How to Apply for SSI

Applications can be started:

  • Online through the SSA website
  • In person at a local Social Security office
  • By phone at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY: 1-800-325-0778), Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. local time

    I am 93 years old DOB 10/06/1932, with prostate cancer, and my SS has been reduced…why?
    I appreciate some help here, if possible.
    Thanks.
