What You Should Know About the SSI Program
Reading Time: 2 MinutesLast Updated: March 17, 2021
The Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program provides cash assistance to people with limited income and few resources.
But … how much do you really know about this program?
SSI provides monthly payments to people who are age 65 or older, completely or partially blind, or considered disabled under Social Security’s strict definition of disability. Social Security pays benefits to people who aren’t able to work due to a medical condition that’s expected to last at least one year or result in death. Blind or disabled children of parents with limited income and resources can also be eligible for the program.
To qualify for SSI, you’ll need to meet strict income and resources requirements. Income is money you earn, such as wages, disability benefits, and pensions. Income can also include the value of items you get from someone else, like food and shelter. Social Security doesn’t count all of your income, or Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits. Different states also have different rules on how much income you can bring in each month and still get SSI.
Resources include the things you own, although we don’t count everything. For instance, we don’t count a house you own and live in, and we usually don’t count your car. We do count income from rental property, bank accounts, cash, stocks, and bonds. Also, to receive SSI, you must meet other program rules about residency and citizenship. You can find more information about income and resources and eligibility requirements on our website.
SSI payments are the same amount nationwide. In 2016, the basic monthly SSI payment is $733 for an individual and $1,100 for a couple. However, the amount you get may be different. It depends on your income and living arrangements. Some states also add money to the basic benefit.
If you think you may be eligible, apply now. You can contact us toll-free at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778) to set up an appointment to apply for SSI at your local Social Security office. Please visit our website for more information.

Tony Sanders, for Commissioner of Social Security v. Social Security Matters Blog and FBI HA-17-1-17
Social Security Matters has engaged with the FBI to misinform the public in violation of 18USC§1512 in regards to the true federal budget, OASDI and SSI accounts in furtherance of a Judeo-Christian scheme to rob a widow and all the orphans of their social security benefits. Social Security Matters was the single contact point for the federal/Microsoft government, but they abused words ‘budget cuts’ and after removing my explanation for the low morale that the Commissioner did not produce an SSI 2016 annual report, have been hijacked by the FBI who hijacks the budget processes of the Department of Justice, Congress and WHOMB non-accountants all in contempt of my accounting directions. sanderstony@live.com was permanently disabled by the FBI incidental to accusing them of self-incriminating regarding the state secrecy electoral infringement in a news blog posting. Having censured Tony Sanders or, more likely, the email address from the SS Matters, because the FBI is desperately trying to justify their citizen’s arrests (not to mention their cut of the forfeitures) because the author is not contactable by the emails they disrupt (mass murder?) to provide the public misinformation only I exhibit the capacity to redact. Social Security Matters computer specialists needs to convict the FBI for two counts of Unauthorized Access to Stored Information (hacking) under 18USC§2701. Please take the time to restore my blog-postings.
US v. Noor Zhi Salman. Grand Jury Indictment. US District Court Middle District of Florida. Orlando Division. Case No. 6.17-cr-18-on28, January 12, 2017
The two count indictment alleges that, from an unknown date, at least April 2016 through and including June 12, 2016 the defendant did knowingly aid and abet Omar Mateen by (1) providing material support or resources in violation of 18USC2339A & B (a)(1 & 2) and (2) engage in misleading conduct toward the Officers of the Fort Pierce, Florida, Police Department and Special Agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, with the intent to hinder, delay and prevent the communication of federal law enforcement officers and judges of the United States of information relating to the commission and possible commission of a federal offense in order to prevent them from communicating to agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the United States Department of Justice and judges of the United States of information relating to the attack on June 12, 2016 at the Pulse Night Club, in Orlando, Florida, in the Middle District of Florida in violation of 18USC§1512(b)(3). The defendant is ordered to forfeit all assets foreign and domestic under 18USC981(a)(1)(G) any firearms and ammunition used in the offense and $30,500 pursuant to 18USC§924(d) or substitute property under 21USC§853 and 28USC§2461(c). The indictment is signed by three assistant US Attorneys including the chief of the criminal division and the foreman of the grand jury.
The arrest by the FBI without the prior signature of a judge is a trial error under Rule 4 (b, D) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure. A federal magistrate judge is now determining flight risk of the pre-trial detainee before a federal judge can be found to take the case. Historically, occupying powers have used collective punishment to retaliate against and deter attacks on their forces by Resistance movements (e.g. destroying entire towns and villages where such attacks have occurred). Art. 33 of the Fourth Geneva Convention provides No protected person may be punished for an offense he or she has not personally committed. Collective penalties and likewise all measures of intimidation or of terrorism are prohibited. Pillage is prohibited. Reprisals against protected persons and their property are prohibited. The major issue is that the indictment seems to have been pirated/ defrauded by the FBI before a Judge could issue a federal arrest warrant served by US Marshall under Rule 4 Fed. Crim. P. In the commission of this false arrest the FBI infringed on both Jury and Social Security Commissioners to intimidate and terrorize HA and pillage the fools at Social Security Matters blog and the widow’s very questionable inheritance from her deceased husband. I would furthermore like to accuse the FBI of permanently disrupting my Microsoft live email when I blogged the truth, the FBI was self-incriminating regarding their election infringing state secrecy allegations in the press. The FBI arrest needs to be ruled a trial error. Both Assistant US Attorneys who wrote the Indictment and FBI are self-incriminating to accuse the defendant with providing misleading information under 18USC§1512(b)(3). How ridiculous to think the defendants have not yet forfeited the arms and ammunition that were used to commit the offense. It is difficult to judge the fact that the FBI, DEA, OJP federal grants, ONDCP and US Sentencing Commission must be abolished under the Slavery Convention of 1926. The FBI must be dismissed with a self-incrimination conviction under 18USC§1512 and Art. 33 of the Fourth Geneva Convention before the terrorism trial can start to liberate Congress from the rampage shooter (Pelosi’s Permanent Select Intelligence Committee, FBI?) in good grace with the Geneva Conventions. Can the shooter’s family disgorge the $30,500 inheritance to the United States without any claims for victim compensation? Does the family know of any more ISIS finance the US can receive? Do the surviving victims and the families of those who died in the gay bar shooting and Human Rights Campaign need compensation under Art. 14 of the Convention against Torture or do they owe the shooter’s widow their compensation under Art. 14 of the Covenant on Civil and Political Rights? Since 2014 Medicaid has been paying for Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) for Male-To-Female types and penectomies. Medicaid needs to stop paying for HRT for MTF types and sex change operations because the estrogen causes a “Warfarin dependency”. The FDA has to revise its policy so that Warfarin dependency is an absolute contraindication for HRT for MTF types.
HRT of the MTF type
Since 2014 Medicaid has been paying Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) of the male-to-female (MTF) type. HRT of the MTF type is a form of hormone therapy and sex reassignment therapy that is used to change the secondary sexual characteristics of transgender and transsexual people from masculine (or androgynous) to feminine. It is one of two types of HRT for transgender and transsexual people, the other being female-to-male, and is predominantly used to treat transgender women. The main effects of HRT of the MTF type are as follows: Breast development and enlargement. Softening and thinning of the skin. Decreased body hair growth and density. Redistribution of body fat in a feminine pattern. Decreased muscle mass and strength. Widening of the hips (if epiphyseal closure has not yet occurred; see below). Decreased acne, skin oiliness, scalp hair loss, and body odor. Decreased size of the penis, scrotum, testicles, and prostate. Suppressed or abolished spermatogenesis and fertility. Decreased semen production/ejaculate volume. Changes in mood, emotionality, and behavior. Decreased sex drive and incidence of spontaneous erections. Breast, nipple, and areolar development varies considerably depending on genetics, body composition, age of HRT initiation, and many other factors. Development can take a couple years to nearly a decade for some. Its effectiveness remains to be seen.
After the gay bar shooting, that was the largest rampage shooting in US history Medicaid coverage for HRT for MTF and sex change operations must be re-evaluated. The FDA must redetermine Warfarin dependency be an absolute contraindication for estrogen consumption. Medicaid must not cater to or pay for gender dysphoria, to corruptly convince pubertal teenagers whose beard growth might be reduced, to be sickened by HRT for MTF type therapy, waiting to believe in breasts no one at the gay bar sees anymore. Medicaid must stop paying for the new fangled volunteer penectomy and invagination that revolutionizes the ancient practice of castrating eunuch slaves that might reduce estrogen needs to such a level they would not need Warfarin, but would probably not even reduce the dose of this absolute contraindication for Hippocratic HRT for MTF type use for timely failure to develop breasts under the Nuremberg Code. Medicaid must stop paying for HRT of the MTF type puberty corruption propaganda or sex change operations. Medicaid shall pay for the surgical removal of all extra reproductive organs of XXY, XYY Kinefelter syndrome transgender and XXX cisgender people and stop catering to the hormonal demands of their precancerous organs on teenage runaways unless these HRT for MTF type drugs are proven to improve, rather than harm, the patients’ health, and sex life, worse than a cigarette. Medicaid does not pay for cigarettes.
Absolute contraindications – those that can cause life-threatening complications, and in which hormone replacement therapy should never be used – include histories of estrogen-sensitive cancer (e.g., breast cancer), thrombosis or embolism (unless the patient receives concurrent anticoagulants), or macroprolactinoma. In such cases, the patient should be monitored by an oncologist, hematologist or cardiologist, or neurologist, respectively. Relative contraindications – in which the benefits of HRT may outweigh the risks, but caution should be used – include: Liver disease, kidney disease, heart disease, or stroke. Risk factors for heart disease, such as high cholesterol, diabetes, obesity, or smoking
Family history of breast cancer or thromboembolic disease. Gallbladder disease. Circulation or clotting conditions, such as peripheral vascular disease, polycythemia vera, sickle-cell anemia, paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, factor V Leiden, prothrombin mutation, antiphospholipid antibodies, anticardiolipin antibodies, lupus anticoagulants, plasminogen or fibrinolysis disorders, protein C deficiency, protein S deficiency, or antithrombin III deficiency. As dosages increase, risks increase as well. Therefore, patients with relative contraindications may start at low dosages and increase gradually.
The most significant cardiovascular risk for transgender women is the pro-thrombotic effect (increased blood clotting) of estrogens. This manifests most significantly as an increased risk for thromboembolic disease: deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism, which occurs when blood clots from DVT break off and migrate to the lungs. Symptoms of DVT include pain or swelling of one leg, especially the calf. Symptoms of pulmonary embolism include chest pain, shortness of breath, fainting, and heart palpitations, sometimes without leg pain or swelling. Deep vein thrombosis occurs more frequently in the first year of treatment with estrogens. The risk is higher with oral estrogens (particularly ethinylestradiol and conjugated estrogens) than with injectable, transdermal, implantable, and nasal formulations. DVT risk also increases with age and in patients who smoke, so many clinicians advise using the safer estrogen formulations in smokers and patients older than 40. Because the risks of warfarin – which is used to treat blood clots – in a relatively young and otherwise healthy population are low, while the risk of adverse physical and psychological outcomes for untreated transgender patients is high, pro-thrombotic mutations (such as factor V Leiden, antithrombin III, and protein C or S deficiency) are not absolute contraindications for hormonal therapy. Warfarin (Coumadin) is a prescription for unnecessary surgery because necessary drugs including anesthesia are contraindicated. Surgeons seem to have better luck prevailing upon transgender HRT consumers to take heparin for a few days before surgery and/or stop taking HRT because they have breast cancer than medical doctors attempting to prescribe metronidazole to cure gastroenteritis just like alcoholics trying to avoid cancer diagnosis. After the gay bar shooting that was the largest rampage shooting in US history Medicaid must redetermine Warfarin dependency to be an absolute contraindication.
In spite of the induction of breast development, HRT in transgender women does not appear to increase the risk of breast cancer. Only a handful of cases of breast cancer have ever been described in transgender women. This is in accordance with research in cisgender men in which gynecomastia has been found not to be associated with an increased risk of breast cancer. On the other hand, men with Klinefelter’s syndrome, who have two X chromosomes (similarly to cisgender women) in addition to hypoandrogenism, hyperestrogenism, and a very high incidence of gynecomastia (80%), show a dramatically (20- to 58-fold) increased risk of breast cancer that is between that of cisgender men and cisgender women (though closer to that of the latter). The incidences of breast cancer in normal men (46,XY karyotype), men with Klinefelter’s syndrome (47,XXY karyotype), and cisgender women (46,XX karyotype) are approximately 0.1%, 3%, and 12.5%, respectively. Also of potential relevance is the case of women with complete androgen insensitivity syndrome, who are genetically male (i.e., 46,XY karyotype) and have normal and complete morphological breast development and in fact breast sizes that are on average larger than those of cisgender women yet, similarly to cisgender men, appear to have little (or possibly even no) incidence of breast cancer. The risk of breast cancer in women with Turner syndrome (45,XO karyotype) also appears to be significantly decreased, though this may be related to ovarian failure/hypogonadism rather necessarily than to genetics. Similarly to the case of breast cancer, prostate cancer is extremely rare in transgender women who have been treated with HRT for a prolonged period of time. Whereas as many as 70% of men show prostate cancer by their 80’s, only a handful of cases of prostate cancer in transgender women have been reported in the literature. As such, and in accordance with the fact that androgens are responsible for the development of prostate cancer, HRT appears to be highly protective against prostate cancer in transgender women.
The most common estrogens used in transgender women include estradiol (which is the predominant natural estrogen in women) and estradiol esters such as estradiol valerate and estradiol cypionate (which are prodrugs of estradiol). Estrogens may be administered orally, sublingually, transdermally (via patch), topically (via gel), by intramuscular or subcutaneous injection, or by an implant. Dosages are typically reduced after an orchiectomy (removal of the testes) or sex reassignment surgery.
The most commonly used antiandrogens in transgender women are cyproterone acetate, spironolactone, and GnRH analogues. Spironolactone, which is relatively safe and inexpensive, is the most frequently used antiandrogen in the United States. Cyproterone acetate, which is unavailable in the United States, is more commonly used in the rest of the world. Spironolactone prevents the formation of androgens in the testes (though not in the adrenal glands) by inhibiting enzymes involved in androgen production. It is also an androgen receptor antagonist (that is, it prevents androgens from binding to and activating the androgen receptor). Cyproterone acetate is a powerful antiandrogen and progestin that suppresses gonadotropin levels (which in turn reduces androgen levels), blocks androgens from binding to and activating the androgen receptor, and inhibits enzymes in the androgen biosynthesis pathway. It has been used as a means of androgen deprivation therapy to treat prostate cancer. If used long-term in dosages of 150 mg or higher, it can cause liver damage or failure.
Non-steroidal antiandrogens used in HRT for transgender women include flutamide, nilutamide, and bicalutamide, all three of which are primarily used in the treatment of prostate cancer. These drugs are pure androgen receptor antagonists. They do not lower androgen levels; rather, they act solely by preventing the binding of androgens to the androgen receptor. However, they do so very strongly, and are highly effective antiandrogens. Bicalutamide has improved tolerability and safety profiles relative to cyproterone acetate, as well as to flutamide and nilutamide, and has largely replaced the latter two in clinical practice for this reason.
In both sexes, the hypothalamus produces gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) to stimulate the pituitary gland to produce luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). This in turn cause the gonads to produce sex steroids such as androgens and estrogens. In adolescents of either sex with relevant indicators, GnRH analogues such as goserelin acetate can be used to stop undesired pubertal changes for a period without inducing any changes toward the sex with which the patient currently identifies. GnRH agonists work by initially overstimulating the pituitary gland, then rapidly desensitizing it to the effects of GnRH. After an initial surge, over a period of weeks, gonadal androgen production is greatly reduced. Conversely, GnRH antagonists act by blocking the action of GnRH in the pituitary gland. There is considerable controversy over the earliest age at which it is clinically, morally, and legally safe to use GnRH analogues, and for how long. The sixth edition of the World Professional Association for Transgender Health’s Standards of Care permit it from Tanner stage 2 but do not allow the addition of hormones until age 16, which could be five or more years later. Sex steroids have important functions in addition to their role in puberty, and some skeletal changes (such as increased height) that may be considered masculine are not hindered by GnRH analogues. GnRH analogues are often prescribed to prevent the reactivation of testicular function when surgeons require the cessation of estrogens prior to surgery. The high cost of GnRH analogues is a significant factor in their relative lack of use in transgender people. However, they are prescribed as standard practice in the United Kingdom.
Progestogens are not commonly prescribed for transgender women. The most common progestogens used in transgender women include progesterone and progestins (synthetic progestogens) like CPA and medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA). These drugs are usually taken orally, but may also be administered by intramuscular injection. Progestogens, in conjunction with the hormone prolactin, are involved in the maturation of the lobules, acini, and areola during pregnancy: mammary structures that estrogen has little to no direct effect on. However, there is no clinical evidence that progestogens enhance breast size, shape, or appearance in either transgender women or cisgender women, and one study found no benefit to breast hemicircumference over estrogen alone in a small sample of transgender women given both an estrogen and an oral progestogen (usually 10 mg/day medroxyprogesterone acetate). Anecdotal evidence from transgender women suggests that those who take progesterone supplements may experience more full breast development, including stage IV on the Tanner scale (many transgender women do not develop Tanner stage V breasts).
Polychondritis
The clinical feature of relapsing polychondritis, an uncommon disorder, is characterized by sudden onset of pain and swelling, with redness and warmth, involving the cartilaginous portion of the external ear, with sparing of the lobule. Inflammation may subside. With repeated attacks, the external ear becomes soft and floppy. Sudden onset of hearing loss and vertigo may occur due to involvement of the audiovestibular structures or vascularities of the internal auditory artery. Approximately 40% of patients with relapsing polychondritis have other autoimmune, rheumatologic, inflammatory or hematologic disorders. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs may be adequate for patients with mild polychondritis limited to arthralgia and nasal or auricular chondritis. Corticosteroid treatment is used in patients with more severe disease, i.e. scleritis/uveitis and systemic symptoms. The survival rate for people with relapsing polychondritis is 74% at five years and 55% at 10 years although more recent studies put survival at 94% with infection being the most common cause of death (Klippel et al ’01: 419 420, 421).

Filing Taxes ..Help Need more Understanding here, I get SSI, & I work part time..the system says I can not get a SSA 1099/ 1042s , when doing my taxes last year with turbo tax, I was in error on the state reporting because my rent along with my earned salary wasnt enough, I use $100 of my SSI for that and didnt know where to add the amount…so do I just add my monthly for 12 months and total it for that tax refund..Homestead/Heating Credit. Im using turbo again, dont know if I should add both amounts on Fed or just state, since Fed says its non taxable due to its under 25K.. what proof do I use? FORM3?
R.F.
Hi Bobby. An SSA-1099 is a tax form we mail each year in January to people who receive Social Security benefits. It shows the total amount of benefits you received from Social Security in the previous year so you know how much Social Security income to report to the IRS on your tax return. The forms SSA-1099 and SSA-1042S are not available for people who receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI). For income tax related questions, you will need to contact the IRS. Their toll-free number is 1-800-829-1040. We hope this information helps you.

THANKS VERY MUCH FOR YOUR QUICK RESPONSE.

Please restore my comments again. My name seems to have been taken out of the memory and all my comments seem to have been removed. Who is doing this hacking? Unauthorized access to stored records is a crime. If you do not restore my comments and any affiliated comments, I am going to have to boycott your blog to avoid wasting national time unless I am personally robbed of my benefits.
Neither SSA nor Congress seem to have the intellectual capacity to do more than be fired or retire from the local office that administrates SSI my Social Security needs to accommodate on the internet. Wars of attrition with the poor are not acceptable. Texas assassinated Kennedy and Johnson was from Texas. Since 2009 the war on poverty has reached critical levels of benefit attrition and accountability and a 3% COLA will be needed henceforth for low-income beneficiaries to compete with 2.7% consumer inflation.
SSA employees have not done their work. I have done SSA’s work. SSA national accounts are all falsified to provoke wrongful political decisions of fools such as yourself and the Acting Commissioner and Actuary, who, not having done the work, do not express that they know the difference between the truth and lies, and seem to be lying on purpose to harm people to feel more powerful than them like small people, the rich, everywhere. Colvin has deprived us of about a 6% COLA during her Acting Commission after boss hog robbed us of 9%.
Put your faith in Hospitals and Asylums (HA), not the Democratic-Republican (DR) two party system, and be a doctor, not an idiot. Social Security Matters blog is not an effective method of communication like the great wall of Hospitals & Asylums (HA). You need news, legislation, litigation, public health and statute to be right. SSA shouldn’t go about hacking and ignoring the laws they are in prison for, or they’re never going to get out. Social Security Bulletin is fascinated by partial counts that cannot be added into a total and is an example of peer reviewed literature that doesn’t enable the nation arrive at any right answers. The Actuary has never gotten the OASDI tax rate calculation right, his job. Social Security Matters can’t hold the truth in their mind or computer memory and have helped to created an illegal society that is neither constitutionally nor human right, a completely false numerical reality, more akin to incest than rape. I haven’t been back to the public library since SS matters plagiarized my card.
Until people with IDs, homes and federal jobs can do the math, I am going to have to do all the work and keep track of the damages caused by idiots like you. Whereas Social Security matters blog is not a messenger of the evening star, Mercury, the people are going to need to be informed of the truth at great expense to the United States. Does SSA want to pay for a full page advertisement in the New York Times for the people to know the truth of the Social Security Amendments of January 1, 2017 with link to http://www.title24uscode.org/ss2017.doc ?

I’m a little confused. I receive SSDI for total disability (lupus, ra, ptsd, herniated disk in neck and back, degenerative disk disease). If I’m receiving SSDI, can I receive additional SSI payments?

Social Security Amendments of January 1, 2017 http://www.title24uscode.org/ss2017.htm
Acting Commissioner Carolyn W. Colvin didn’t publish a 2016 Annual Report on the SSI program as required by the act that cut 10 million AFDC benefits 1996-2000. She has caused 6% COLA in damages to benefits since the Bipartisan budget Act of 2015. It is possible that SSI population growth in 2016 might be even lower, than the 0.1% calculated, falsely represented as healthy 1% population growth, in the 2014-15 reports. SSA either needs to produce a 2017 annual report on the SSI program or a combined Annual Report on the Federal OASDI Trust Funds and SSI program as I have directed to be done by the summer solstice in Sec. 1.
Elect me Commissioner already. SSI and SSDI combined payments for people receiving less SSDI than the SSI $735 (2017) federal payment standard are vulnerable to pilfering, like all programs that provide assistance to poor people, these days. Pay a 3% COLA now, in the second month of 2017, to end the war of attrition. SSA must be accountable to be free to tax the rich to expand the SSI program to end poverty with 50 million benefits in 2020 and 16-24 million new child SSI benefits to end child poverty in 2017 and balance the federal budget FY 2018. No one should have an income less than $735 a moth for an individual and $1,103 a month for a couple. A 3% COLA (2017) would make the benefit $755 a month for an individual and $1,133 for a couple. Account for the OASDI and SSI programs or SSA shall owe me for two years as Commissioner.

Hi I receive ssi income and I’m 35 disabled I just moved into an extended stay hotel cause I can’t no longer afford a home. Is there any other way or how can I get social security to help me. I can barely afford copays for meds
