Can I receive Social Security disability (DIB) and SSI?
You may be able to receive SSI in addition to monthly Social Security benefits if your Social Security benefit is low. The amount of your SSI benefit depends on where you live. The basic SSI check is the same nationwide. Effective January 2002, the SSI payment for an eligible individual is $545 per month and $817 per month for an eligible couple. However, many states add money to the basic check.
