Supplemental Security Income (SSI)

Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is a needs-based disability program for which there are both “medical” and “non-medical” eligibility requirements you must meet in order to receive benefits.  One non-medical requirement for SSI has to do with income.  The link below shows how Social Security defines income as well as income that is not counted against the SSI income limit.
