Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is a vital benefit for extremely low-income older adults or people with disabilities who cannot work enough to meet their basic needs. The eligibility requirements and rules governing the program are complicated and confusing. Becoming familiar with the rules will help advocates ensure clients can get benefits and keep them.

This webinar, Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Basics, will explain the benefits SSI provides, how SSI differs from other Social Security benefits, the eligibility requirements for the program, and strategies to prevent individuals from having their benefits incorrectly reduced or terminated. This webinar will be most useful to aging, disability, and legal aid providers and advocates who work with individuals who might be eligible for SSI.

After viewing this training, attendees will be able to:

  • Recognize and explain the difference between SSI and Social Security Benefits;
  • Identify individuals likely to qualify for SSI; and
  • Assess potential obstacles to SSI eligibility.

  • Trinh Phan, Director, State Income Security, Justice in Aging
