Supplemental Security Income (SSI)

Supplemental Security Income (SSI) pays monthly checks to people who are 65 or older, or blind, or have a disability. SSI can also go to children who are either disabled or blind. People who get SSI usually get food stamps and Medicaid too. How much a recipient gets depends on where he or she lives. Visit the sites below for more information.
