Q & A
Can I receive Social Security benefits and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits at the same time?
Answer: You may be able to receive SSI in addition to monthly Social Security benefits if your Social Security benefit is low enough for you to qualify for SSI. Whether you can get SSI depends on your income and resources. Resources are things that you own — other than your home — such as additional property, vehicles, or anything else you could exchange for cash. If you have low income and few resources, you may be able to supplement your Social Security benefit with an SSI payment. You can find out more about SSI atwww.socialsecurity.gov/disabilityssi/ssi.html.
