Beneficiaries are individuals with limited income who are either blind, aged 65 and older, or have a qualifying disability.
The amount recipients receive varies based on several factors, including the number of people filing. Individuals, for instance, can receive up to $967, couples filing together can receive $1,450, and essential people providing necessary care to SSI recipients can receive up to $484.

In addition to the previous prerequisites to receive SSI payments, recipients must also be U.S. citizens or noncitizens in one of the alien classifications granted by the Department of Homeland Security.
