SSI stands for Supplemental Security Income. It is a need-based program run by the Social Security Administration (SSA) that provides income to individuals who are aged, blind, or disabled and have limited income and resources. It is designed to provide financial assistance to those who are unable to work for at least a year due to their disability, age, or blindness. SSI is separate from Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and is not based on prior work history or contributions to the Social Security system. SSI can also provide access to Medicaid benefits in certain states.
