The Supplemental Security Income program provides essential disability benefits to adults and children. It also pays benefits to adults ages 65 and older who are not blind or disabled. SSI is a federally funded, need-based program that limits the amount of monthly income and countable resources or assets a person may have and still be eligible for benefits. The program provides monthly cash payments to help you afford a place to live, food to eat, and other necessities. "How much money can you make and still get SSI," is a question frequently asked by people applying for benefits through the SSI program. The disability professionals at Disability Experts of Florida provide the answer by explaining the effect that income has on your monthly disability benefits.

Still, the amount you receive can be more or less depending on several factors explained in detail in this blog post. Disability Experts of Florida understand the essential role SSI benefits play in the lives of adults and children who are blind or disabled, as well as older adults without disabilities who are at least 65 years old.

However, not every case of epilepsy will qualify, as the SSA has strict criteria for determining whether a person's condition renders them unable to work.
