Supplemental Security Income The Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program provides cash benefits to needy individuals who are aged, blind or disabled. There is no minimum age requirement for eligibility under SSI. However, unlike ordinary Social Security recipients, SSI recipients must meet certain income and financial resources tests to qualify for the program's benefits. You are not limited on the number of applications you may make for these benefits. If benefits are denied on the first application, that does not mean that benefits will be denied on the second application. Furthermore, if benefits are denied, reduced or terminated, you have a right to request reconsideration and, if necessary, a hearing before an administrative law judge.
