SSI: Supplemental Security Income
Supplemental Security Income (SSI)

Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is a monthly benefit program funded by general taxes that your clients who are homeless may be eligible to receive if they are disabled, blind or at least 65 years old.

Benefits Your Client May Receive

SSI is a monthly benefit. The basic monthly amount is the same nationwide, but many states add a supplement to the basic benefit. The amount also may be reduced by other income and living arrangements.
