Do I Qualify For SSI Benefits?

n order to qualify for SSI benefits, applicants must also show that they have limited income and resources. Under the law, a person qualifying for SSI cannot own more than $2,000., or $3,000. if they are married. Certain assets, such as a home and one motor vehicle, are exempt from these requirements. Unlike Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), SSI benefits are not based on a person’s employment history.
