Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is a federal program that provides financial assistance to individuals with disabilities or who are blind or over the age of 65 and have limited income and resources. In Florida, SSI is administered by the Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF).
To apply for SSI in Florida, you can either apply online through the Social Security Administration (SSA) website or by calling the SSA at 1-800-772-1213. You will need to provide the SSA with information about your income, resources, and disability or blindness. The SSA will then determine if you are eligible for SSI and how much you will receive in benefits.
