Supplemental Security Income benefits are for the neediest United States citizens. The Social Security Administration provides this benefit for Americans who have less monthly income.
Therefore, the moment this economic situation changes, it is common for the Social Security Administration to stop payment on the Supplemental Security Income check. However, life changes a lot all the time, so we could revert back to the previous situation.
In that case, many Americans have doubts about whether it is possible to apply for Supplemental Security Income in order to be able to get back the check of up to $914. And this doubt is normal, since it is a really useful benefit that helps a lot of families.
And the good news is that we will not only be able to apply for this check, but the amount could be even higher. In addition to that, we may also find that we will have to take fewer steps to reapply for monthly SSI.
HOW TO REAPPLY FOR LOST SUPPLEMENTAL SECURITY INCOME?
If we have found ourselves in a situation where we have lost our SSI, we will be able to reapply for it. However, you must meet the requirements again. It is not possible to apply for Supplemental Security Income if we do not meet the requirements.
Remember that on the one hand, you must be 65 years of age or older or have a disability. On the other hand, it is also essential to have a low monthly income. If we meet these two requirements, the SSI benefit will be ours.
If we fail to meet either of these requirements, the check will stop coming. But if, by chance, we are in the same situation again, we can apply for Supplemental Security Income again.
And the amount doesn’t have to be the same as the previous time, but it could be. It depends on the new situation, so we have to look carefully at all the requirements.
In order to apply for SSI reinstatement, it is necessary to use Expedited Reinstatement (EXR). Through this process, the benefit will be reinstated. However, it is even possible to collect a temporary benefit for six months.
So the definitive answer is yes, we can start collecting Supplemental Security Income again if we meet the same requirements as we did before. The check may be closer to the $914 maximum or farther away, but we will get it anyway.
