Supplemental Security Income/State Supplementary Payment (SSI/SSP)

The SSI Program is a federally funded program which provides income support to eligible individuals who are aged 65 or older, blind or disabled. SSI benefits are also available to qualified blind or disabled children.

The SSP Program is the state program which augments SSI. Both SSI and SSP benefits are administered by the Social Security Administration (SSA). Eligibility for both programs is determined by SSA using federal criteria. If an eligible individual qualifies for SSI, they qualify for SSP. The benefits are in the form of cash assistance.

To apply for SSI/SSP, please visit your local Social Security office (find the nearest SSA office) or phone 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778).
