Social Security Insurance (SSI) is a Social Security program that provides monthly payments to people who have limited income and resources. SSI is administered by the Social Security Administration (SSA).
To be eligible for SSI payments, individuals must meet several requirements. Generally, those who are eligible for SSI must be over 18, disabled, or 65 years or older.
In addition to being over the age of 18, disabled or 65 years or older, those who are eligible for SSI must also meet non-medical requirements. These requirements are designed to filter out individuals who are not genuinely in need of assistance and to ensure that SSI payments are only disbursed to those who meet specific financial criteria.
To meet these criteria, individuals must have a low monthly income, limited resources and be blind or disabled. Other SSI eligibility requirements include being a U.S. citizen or eligible non-citizen, and generally, an individual must have lived in the United States for at least 10 years to meet this requirement, although there may be some exceptions.
Those who receive SSI payments must also adhere to certain rules to keep their benefits. Generally, individuals are not allowed to have too much income or too many resources and must report changes in their financial circumstances to the SSA.
It’s important to keep in mind that there are other requirements to being eligible for SSI. Those interested in learning more about SSI eligibility and the associated benefits should contact the Social Security Administration or visit their website.
