Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is a U.S. government program intended to provide financial support for people who cannot work at all or successfully maintain employment due to physical and mental disabilities.
Unlike Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), eligibility for this program is not dependent on a person's having worked in the past and paid into the system through payroll taxes. Many people disabled at birth or early in life receive SSI checks, based on their very limited resources and proof of a qualifying disability recognized by the Social Security Administration (SSA).
Unfortunately, the steps required to qualify for SSI and begin receiving checks can be intimidating, and people who legitimately need and qualify for SSI benefits often encounter great difficulty or ultimately give up.
