I also agree with what others are saying about Social Security. However, the term SSI has been used a number of times in this discussion and we're not talking about SSI. The following excerpt from the Social Security website will explain:
"SSI stands for Supplemental Security Income. The Social Security Administration (SSA) administers this program. SSA pays monthly benefits to people with limited income and resources who are disabled, blind, or age 65 or older. Blind or disabled children, as well as adults, can get SSI benefits."
You will find this quote and more about SSI including an explaination on how SSI is different from Social Security at
