It is possible to qualify for SSI if you are a US citizen or lawful resident who is 65 or older, or blind or disabled, and have limited income and resources.
However, the following exceptions should be noted:
States that do not offer supplemental SSI payments are Arizona, Mississippi, North Dakota and West Virginia.
Residents of Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands, American Samoa, and Guam are not eligible for SSI. For more information on this, read our article on the Supreme Court ruling.
Although residents of the Northern Mariana Islands are eligible for SSI, federal payments are not supplemented in the territory.
