What is SSI (Supplemental Security Income)?

SSI, or supplemental security income, is not the same as social security, as funded by your contributions. Instead, this is a different set of benefits, funded by the tax system. When you fall into certain categories, you can apply and draw SSI benefits. Confused? The Law Firm of Lyle B. Masnikoff & Associates, P.A. in Palm Beach can help.

Are You Eligible for Supplemental Security Income?

As with any benefits, the first thing you need to consider when applying for SSI is whether you qualify. According to the Social Security Administration, you can apply for SSI if:

• Age (age 64 or under)
• Blind
• Disabled
• Has limited income; and
• Has limited resources; and
