The federal government makes monthly supplemental security income (SSI) payments to persons who are 65 or older, or blind, or disabled and who do not have much income and do not own much property.

Bruce A. Hundley, social security manager in Culpeper, says the idea of SSI is to provide monthly checks when they are needed so that eligible people can have a basic cash income—$208.20 for one person and $312.30 for a married couple.

Persons who have little or no regular cash income and who do not own much property or other things that can be turned into cash may get SSI. In addition, eligibility based on blindness or disability depends on the severity of the person’s condition.
