GAMC is 100 percent state-funded. The Minnesota Department of Human Services oversees the program, administered locally by counties. Children's Mental Health Collaboratives were established by the 1993 Minnesota Legislature in recognition that children with severe emotional disturbances or who are at risk of such disturbances often require services from multiple service systems. It pays monthly checks to people who are 65 or older, or blind, or have a disability and who don't own much or have a lot of income. SSI isn't just for adults.
Monthly checks can go to disabled and blind children, too.
People who get SSI usually get food stamps and Medicaid , too. Medicaid helps pay doctor and hospital bills. SSI is administered by the Social Security Administration. We welcome your comments and suggestions about this site.
