Social Security
In
Swisher County
From the Plainview Office
Everyone needs a little help once in a
while. The help could be from a friend or
co-worker, from a bank or credit union.
And sometimes the hclpcould even come
from Supplemental Security Income
(SSI).
In the real world, for example, indi-
viduals who are not earning much money
may find themselves responsible for an
elderly parent, a disabled child, or another
relative who is blind or disabled and are
no longer able to care for themselves. If
you arc confronted by any of these cir-
cumstances, or similar ones, you should
explore the availability of SSI benefits.
SSI pays monthly checks to individuals
who arc 65 or older, or blind, or have a
disability and don't own much or have a
lot of income. Monthly checks can also
go U) disabled and blind children. If a
person qualifies for SSI, he or she may
al so be able to get Medicaid, food stamps,
or other social services.
To qualify for SSI, you, your family
members, or individuals you care for,
don't need to be destitute. You may work,
own a car or home, or attend college.
Generally, if the applicant lives in the
household of another, die basic SSI ben-
efit is reduced as much as one-third.
If you're working and think that your
earnings may be too much to allow you
to qualify for SSI, you should be aware
that under SSE, not all income is counted
in determining whether you’re eligible
for benefits.
For example, we don't count:
• the first $20 of most income received
in a month;
• the first $65 a month you cam from
working and half the amount over $65;
• food stamps
• most food, clothing, or shelter you
get from private nonprofit organizations;
or
• most home energy assistance.
• If you arc a student, some of your
wages or scholarships you receive may
not count.
There arc many rules that determine
your eligibility for SSI. You should re-
alize that you arc not the best judge of
your eligibility. If you arc doing the best
you can and still need help, call us at 1-
800-772-1213. We may be able to pro-
vide the assistance you need. Remem-
ber, everyone needs a little help once in
a while.
