SSI

SSI, or Supplemental Security Income, is a government program that provides financial assistance to individuals with limited income and resources who are aged, blind, or disabled. Funded by general tax revenues, it helps cover basic needs like food, shelter, and clothing. SSI aims to support those who have little or no income, ensuring they can maintain a basic quality of life. Eligibility depends on income, resources, and specific disability or age criteria, with the goal of offering safety-net support to vulnerable populations.
