Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is a federal income supplement program funded by general tax revenues (not Social Security taxes). SSI provides monthly cash payments to people with limited income and resources who are:
- Age 65 or older
- Blind
- Disabled
To be eligible for SSI, you must meet certain financial and non-financial requirements. In Texas, the SSI program is administered by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC).
