If you have been looking for the best way of applying for disability benefits, you may be wondering what SSI means. Today, we will explain what SSI is and who its recipients are.<\/p>\n

SSI stands for Supplemental Security Income, which is a program issued, regulated and administered by the Social Security Administration<\/a>. The SSI program pays monthly benefits to people with limited income and resources who are blind, have a qualifying disability, or are aged 65 or older. Additionally, children with disabilities or who are blind may also get SSI.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][nectar_btn size=”large” button_style=”regular” button_color_2=”Accent-Color” icon_family=”none” el_class=”pbutton” text=”Getting help is easy,

Social Security benefits (SSDI) may be paid to you and certain members of your family if you are \u201cinsured\u201d meaning you worked long enough and paid Social Security taxes. As these people have worked and paid taxes, they are eligible for benefits before the age of retirement, should they become unable to work due to a medical condition. Unlike Social Security benefits, SSI benefits are not based on your prior work or a family member’s prior work. Additionally, SDI benefits have no work requirement or age limit.<\/span><\/p>\n

As mentioned on the SSA official website, SSI is financed by general funds of the U.S. Treasury, personal income taxes, corporate and other taxes. Social Security taxes collected under the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) or the Self-Employment Contributions Act (SECA) do not fund the SSI program.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][nectar_btn size=”large” button_style=”regular” button_color_2=”Accent-Color” icon_family=”none” el_class=”pbutton” text=”Getting help is easy,
