Who is Eligible?

Supplementary Security Income (SSI) is a government program that provides financial assistance to individuals with limited income and resources. Unlike the benefits of social security, SSI is based on financial requirements, not work history.

To qualify for SSI, you must meet at least one of the following conditions:

Be 65 or older
Have a qualifying disability
Be blind
Be a blind or disabled child

SSI benefits are increased according to cost-of-living adjustments (COLA). In 2025, the COLA rose by 2.5%, which marginally increased benefits for qualifying recipients.
