funded and administered by the Social Security Administration. It is a supplement to SSA and SSDI if your receive only a small amount from the other two programs. I get a very small amount from SSDI and the rest comes from SSI.

What I am surprised about is that the Rs have not gone after that yet. It helps the poorest people.

You mean SSI? They go after it in the state legislatures and try to circumvent federal rules. freshwest Jan 2015 #5

I am on SSI and when I need to talk to someone about it I call the Social Security Administration. jwirr Jan 2015 #6

Are you are SSDI or SSI? The latter is state welfare, not federally administered. SSDI is federal. freshwest Jan 2015 #7

Some states have an SSI program but there is also a federal one. Here in MN we have a SSI jwirr Jan 2015 #8

See my edit, I am unfamiliar with what you are talking about. I think you are talking about SSDI on freshwest Jan 2015 #9

A link that may clarify things for both of us and other readers: freshwest Jan 2015 #10

That is it. I did not know that some states are in charge of it. That would be terrible. Especially jwirr Jan 2015 #11
