Supplemental Security Income Explained

What is SSI & how do I know if I qualify?

Supplemental Security Income, or SSI, is a separate system than Social Security Disability. It may be possible to qualify for both and receive benefits from SSI when SSD benefits are insufficient. Determining these qualifications is often complex and very confusing.

The dedicated legal team from our office can help you to understand the qualifications and also help you determine what you could be eligible to claim. SSI benefits are based on needs, whereas SSD is based on work ability and past record of work. The benefits are funded differently. To qualify for SSI benefits applicants must be 65 years or older, legally blind or permanently disabled as defined by the Social Security Administration (SSA).

Guiding You Through the Application Process

When applying for SSI benefits you will need to show that:

  • Your income (wages, benefits from other programs, pensions, etc.) and other resources (cash or property assets) total less than $3,000 for a family and $2,000 for an unmarried individual

If approved, you will receive a monthly payment based on SSA calculations. If this is insufficient it may be possible to receive state benefits in combination with your federal benefits.
