SSI is called supplemental security income. It is primarily for those whose guardians or they don’t qualify for Social Security because they don’t work. It is funded directly out of the general fund but administered by SSA. Together, SSDI and SSI amount to at least 1/4 of the overall expenditures when I read about it years ago before Obama. It is disgusting.
I was an eligibility worker for the welfare department. I know exactly what SSI is.
