Are you eligible to claim Supplemental Security Income?
Unlike SSDI, Supplemental Security Income ("SSI") is an income and asset program which is only available to those whose current income and financial resources are below a government mandated threshold. The requirements for establishing the disability required to be eligible for SSI are the same as for SSDI benefits, namely that you must have an injury or illness (Physical or psychological) that prevents you from working for at least a year or which is expected to be fatal.

How much can I receive in Supplemental Security Income benefits?
The amount which you can be paid for SSI depends on a number of factors, including your current income, your living arrangements, the number of people with whom you live and the type of income you are now receiving. The Social Security Administration states that the maximum payable amount is currently $943 for an individual or $1,415 for a couple, figures which are computed based on the current Consumer Price Index and cost of living. Florida is one of several states across the country which provides additional payments to bolster the federal SSI benefits.
