Supplementary Security Income or SSI
The federal government administers the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program, which is funded through general taxation. Helping elderly, blind and disabled people who have little or no income is the objective of this program, which distributes funds to cover the most basic needs such as food, clothing and housing, in accordance with SSA.
Children with disabilities who live in low-income households qualify for $687 in benefits, on average. Given the holiday schedule, SSI applicants received two checks in December reflecting the new COLA and will receive a third on February 1. According to BRAND, in 2022, the maximum monthly benefit for SSI is $841 for an individual, up from $794 in 2021.
