Note: You are Financially Eligible for SSI (Blind)

You apparently believed that you were not eligible to receive SSI benefits because your income or resources exceeded the limits for eligibility. However, the amounts you entered for these are within the limits, and if you meet the other eligibility criteria you appear to be eligible to receive SSI benefits. Note that once you become an eligible SSI recipient, you are also eligible for Medicaid benefits.

You should double-check the values you entered, and if they are correct you should apply for SSI benefits. You will need to contact an SSA Claims Representative in order to complete the application.

If you would like to see what effect receiving SSI benefits could have on your net income and benefits, follow the procedure below.

"WHAT-IF?" STEPS

1.         Create a New Situation by clicking the New Situation icon on the Toolbar or choosing Situation, New from the Main Menu.

2.        If you have only entered one situation, the new situation will be based on it. Otherwise, choose the column containing this recommendation as the column on which to base the new situation. (The new column will contain the same answers as the chosen column until you make changes.)

3.        Go to the top of the new column and enter a situation label such as "Getting SSI".

4.        Under the Benefits Received section enter YES to the Supplemental Security Income question.

5.        Enter YES to the Medicaid question.

6.        Finally, review the numeric and graph outputs for changes to your net income and benefits, and the text outputs for additional recommendations specific to your actual situation.
