What Is Social Security SSI?

For the United States citizens who do not have a way to earn a stable income, the Federal government provides some income supplement programs. One such program is called Social Security SSI. SSI stands for Supplemental Security Income.

This program is funded with the help of general tax revenues instead of the social security taxes.

The program has been designed especially to provide financial help to disabled, blind as well as aged citizens of the USA, with less or no income. The cash provided by the program is meant to meet the basic needs of the citizens like clothing, food, as well as shelter.
