Richmond Supplemental Security Income for Adults Lawyer
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is a federal program designed to provide financial assistance to adults with limited income and resources who are aged, blind, or disabled. It is intended to help meet basic food, clothing, and shelter needs.
Unlike Social Security benefits, funded through payroll taxes, Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is financed through general tax revenues and is available to individuals who meet specific financial and disability criteria.
