Social Security Supplemental Security Income
Many people who receive Social Security checks may also qualify for Supplemental Security Income assistance. Supplemental Security Income, also called SSI, provides extra monthly cash assistance to people with low incomes who are disabled, blind or aged 65 or older and have limited resources. Blind or disabled children also may qualify for Supplemental Security Income. Securing Supplemental Security Income is a complicated process, so it just makes good sense to have help from an experienced legal professional.

How Do I Qualify for Supplemental Security Income / SSI Benefits?
You may receive monthly SSI payments if have a low income and are:
- Age 65 or older;
- Blind;
- Disabled.
Supplemental Security Income is a different benefit than Social Security Disability. To receive either Supplemental Security Income or Social Security Disability benefits, you must be disabled, with a medically diagnosable physical or mental impairment that limits your ability to do gainful work, as defined by Social Security regulations. In addition, elderly people with a limited income may receive SSI cash assistance.
In 2009, about 590,000 people in Texas received Supplement Security Income cash assistance, primarily based on disability, according to Social Security Administration statistics. Providing the medical evidence to prove that you are physically or mentally disabled is the critical part of the Supplemental Security Income application process. But it’s not the only part.
You’ll also have to provide birth certificates, income records, copies of bank statements and other financial documents to detail your income and other resources.
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) provides assistance to disabled people who have a low income and few financial resources. People who are blind or elderly and have low incomes also may receive Supplemental Security Income benefits. The average monthly Supplemental Security Income payment is about $500.
