Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is a federal welfare program designed to assist low-income elderly and disabled people in making ends meet. Unlike the Social Security disability income program, SSI is paid for out of treasury funds. This means that you don't need to have an extensive work history to qualify for the program. However, you do have to meet a host of other strict eligibility requirements.
