What is SSI?
Supplemental Security Income (SSI), administered by the Social Security Administration (SSA), is a federal program that provides monthly stipends to low-income adults and children who are disabled, blind, or aged (65 and older).
The purpose of SSI is to help meet basic needs for food, clothing, and shelter for those who have little or no income and assets. Unlike Social Security disability benefits which require a work history, SSI eligibility is based solely on financial need and medical criteria.
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Benefits
SSI provides monthly cash benefits that are paid directly to the recipient. For 2024, the maximum federal SSI payment for an individual is $914 per month. For an eligible individual living with others, the payment is $821 per month.
These are the standard benefit rates set by Congress each year. Some states also provide additional supplemental payments on top of the federal benefit amount.
The exact SSI payment amount an individual may qualify for depends on their living situation, income, and assets. Benefits are paid on the 1st of each month unless it falls on a weekend or holiday, in which case payments are issued earlier.
SSI Payment Eligibility 2024
To receive SSI benefits in 2024, individuals must meet certain financial and non-financial requirements set by the SSA.
Financially, single applicants cannot have more than $2,000 in countable resources, while married couples living together cannot have more than $3,000. Some common non-countable resources are a home, vehicle, and burial plots.
In terms of income limits, gross earned and unearned income must be at or below the federal benefit rate. The SSA disregards the first $20 of earned income and half of the remaining earnings.

I’m sorry to hear about your situation. Here are a few suggestions for getting help finding affordable senior housing:
Contact your local housing authority. Many have subsidized housing specifically for low-income seniors. You may qualify based on your income.
Look into Section 8 housing vouchers. These can help cover rent costs. Apply through your housing authority.
Search listings on affordablehousingonline.com. This national database has income-based housing restricted to seniors.
Ask your doctor or local Area Agency on Aging office for senior housing referrals. They may know of local resources.
Contact non-profits like Catholic Charities USA that assist low-income seniors with housing needs.
Check if your state has any senior rent assistance programs. Some offer one-time grants for move-in costs.
Explain your situation to your current landlord to see if they can work with you on a lower rent amount.
Consider downsizing to a studio apartment or room in a retirement home if costs are too high alone.
