Get Supplemental Security Income (SSI) - Dss Cahwnet

There is no specific “bonus” retirees can collect from the Social Security Administration. For example, you're not eligible to get a $5,000 bonus check on top of your regular benefits just because you worked in a specific career. Social Security doesn't randomly award money to people.

A couple can get SSI if they have unearned income of less than $1,391 a month in 2023. Because a larger portion of earned income isn't counted, a person who gets SSI can earn up to $1,913 a month ($2,827 for a couple) and still get SSI.

To qualify for SSI, your monthly earned income must be below SGA ($1,470, or $2,460 if you are blind).

Social Security benefits may be paid to you and certain members of your family if you are “insured” meaning you worked long enough and paid Social Security taxes. Unlike Social Security benefits, SSI benefits are not based on your prior work or a family member's prior work.
