You may qualify for Supplemental Security Income (SSI). If you qualify for SSI because you have a physical or mental disability, you will receive a check each month from the government to help you pay for your living expenses. You will continue to be eligible for additional help, like scholarships, job training, and ILP services, without affecting your SSI eligibility.
