SSI - Supplemental Security Income

Financial Assistance · Georgia · Free

Federal program for low-income seniors 65+ and disabled people. Monthly cash benefit. Relevant for veterans (Aid & Attendance pension), homeowners (property tax relief), and renters (Section 8 senior housing waitlists). LIHEAP applications open in late fall in most states; apply early — funds run out before the cold sets in. SSDI back pay can be substantial — the application takes 3-5 months on average, but benefits date back to the disability onset. No cost to older adults or the people helping them.
