First and foremost, SSI benefits are for Americans with low resources and income. Furthermore, being disabled, blind, or above the age of 65 is required. So, if you know someone in that scenario, you can help them file so that they can make ends meet.
The SSA allows applicants to schedule an appointment to apply for SSI benefits. Social Security believes that it is the simplest approach to do the task. Keep in mind that SSA representatives can provide help, tell you what documents you need, and answer any questions you may have.
