Potential Residual Benefits To Other Programs
Once an individual qualifies for Supplemental Security Income they automatically become eligible for several other assistance programs as allowed by Federal and State law. An SSI recipient can receive benefits from all programs listed and they serve as a safety net for those on the program.
- Medicaid In order to help with the purchase of medicine and hospital care for the aged, blind, and disabled.
- Qualified Medicare Beneficiaries (QMB)
- Food Stamps (SNAP) for the purchase of food. Depends on the individual’s state of residence on how much they may receive in food stamps.
- Housing choice voucher program, more commonly known as HUD Section 8. SSI recipients automatically are entitled to Section 8 Housing as they meet the low income criteria yet they have to be approved by the Department of Housing and Urban Development.

“Much of what contrives to create critical moments in parenting stems from a fundamental misunderstanding as to what the child is capable of at any given age. If a parent misjudges a child’s limitations as well as his own abilities, the potential exists for unreasonable expectations, frustration, disappointment and an unrealistic belief that what the child really needs is to be punished.”
—Lawrence Balter (20th century)
