SSI recipients
SSI recipients are individuals who receive federal financial assistance through the Supplemental Security Income program. This program provides monthly payments to people with limited income and resources who are aged 65 or older, blind, or disabled, helping them cover essential expenses like food, shelter, and clothing. Eligibility is based on financial need rather than work history, and the amount received can vary depending on income and living arrangements. SSI aims to support those with limited means to maintain a basic standard of living, and it is administered by the Social Security Administration.
