SSI - Supplemental Security Income

Financial Assistance · Wisconsin · Free

Federal program for low-income seniors 65+ and disabled people. Monthly cash benefit. Worth contacting for anyone facing eviction, utility shutoff, or a sudden out-of-pocket prescription cost they can't cover. LIHEAP applications open in late fall in most states; apply early — funds run out before the cold sets in. Most seniors leave $5,000-10,000 a year in benefits on the table because no one tells them what they qualify for. Free of charge — no eligibility paperwork required to call or browse.
