The COVID-19 pandemic continues to impose hardships, especially on people who face barriers to accessing services and benefits. These include people with low-income, limited English proficiency, facing homelessness, or with mental illness, who have historically relied on meeting with us face-to-face to get the help they need.
Especially if you are a nonprofit that works with people facing barriers that may be eligible for Supplemental Security Income (SSI), a federal program based on need that provides a monthly cash benefit to people age 65 and older, and people who are blind or disabled, regardless of age, who have limited income and resources.
Learn how to use my Social Security online account and other online services. You should go to www.socialsecurity.gov/myaccount to create a my Social Security account and print out your Social Security Statement before attending the workshop.
