Supplemental Security Income (SSI) provides monthly payments to people with disabilities and older adults. Adults and children might be eligible for SSI if they meet these three criteria: little or no income; little or no resources; and a disability, blindness, or are age 65 or older.
If you’re considering applying for SSI for your family member, there are two workshops you might find of interest.
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Resources
SSI is a needs-based program with strict limits and complicated rules related to resources. This free webinar from the National Center on Law & Elder Rights (NCLER) will focus on SSI resource limits and rules, including:
- How “excess” resources can lead to benefit ineligibility, suspension, or termination from the SSI program;
- the resource transfer penalty and ways to avoid it; and
- other strategies for addressing common resource issues.
The presenter is Kate Lang, director of Federal Income Security, Justice in Aging.
