Who is eligible?
Your income and assets will determine whether you are eligible for SSI.
Individuals must have no more than $2,000 in assets, while married couples may have up to $3,000 in assets.
Additionally, the amount of your SSI payment decreases as your income rises.
Seniors can apply for both Social Security and SSI, which should not be mistaken.
Because many eligible youngsters don’t have jobs, benefits are claimed to be higher for them.
If they are eligible for both SSI and Social Security, people who claim Social Security often get smaller SSI payouts.
More than 7.8 million Americans were receiving SSI payments, the SSA said in July.
You may start the application procedure and finish a significant portion of it on the SSA website if you want to apply for SSI.
