The Social Security Administration doesn’t just pay retirement benefits to United States citizens. Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments also arrive each month to eligible Americans. That’s why knowing these requirements is so important. We can get up to $943 extra each month if we are in the group of eligible beneficiaries.
Also, it is important to know that this Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payment is compatible with other benefits. We can collect both the Social Security retirement check and Supplemental Security Income at the same time. We can also get SNAP Food Stamps or some other stimulus checks.
Therefore, Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is compatible with the other payments that both the Social Security Administration and the United States Government send out. Without a doubt, knowing that we can get up to $943 a month from this benefit is an important part of being able to have a better monthly budget.
How can I get $943 from SSI each month?
The truth is that the requirements to apply for monthly Supplemental Security Income (SSI) are few. Specifically, there are only two mandatory requirements to get this extra benefit. So check them out because you may be eligible to get this payment.
These are the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) requirements:
- Being 65 or older or having a disability. Both requirements are equally valid. It doesn’t matter if we are 65 or older or have a disability. We meet both requirements equally.
- Low monthly income. You must also have low resources in general.
The amount of Supplemental Security Income (SSI) we get depends on our monthly income. The lower the monthly income we get, the higher the Supplemental Security Income payment.
On the other hand, it is important to remember that you do not have to have an accepted Social Security benefit to get a monthly Supplemental Security Income (SSI) check. The two payments are compatible, but it is not necessary to have one payment to qualify for the other.
These are separate but compatible payments. Similarly, if we have a high Social Security benefit, we will not be able to get Supplemental Security Income. Remember that the SSI check is only for the neediest United States citizens.
