The Basics About Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) provides for basic needs such as food, clothing and shelter. It is not funded from Social Security revenue, but rather from general federal revenue.
Eligibility for SSI depends on income. In general, people who qualify for SSI are aged, blind or disabled. An SSI claim has some similarities to a Social Security Disability claim in terms of the need to prove eligibility.
SSI Appeals
If your SSI claim is denied, and is later approved, you will receive back benefits dating to the time that you applied, regardless of when your disability began. For this reason, it is important to apply sooner rather than later if you believe you may have a viable SSI claim.
