SOCIAL SECURITY SUPPLEMENTAL SECURITY INCOME (SSI) PROGRAM  

SSI provides monthly cash payments to help meet the basic needs of children who have a physical or mental disability. Children under age 18 can get SSI if they meet Social Security’s definition of disability for children and there is limited income and resources in the household.
