How is the amount of SSI awarded determined?

Answered 8 years and 8 months ago by attorney Diana L. Anderson   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Social Security Disability
The SSI award is based on the total of everything they receive.  If you are providing housing for them, then they don't get money for housing.  They may also be eligible for food stamps, and should be on Medicaid, which may help supply medical needs.  Its not that you will get more SSI but you might get other benefits. ...
