Who Qualifies for Supplemental Security Income in Indiana?

SSI is run by Social Security but different from the other disability benefits program they run, called Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI). You don’t need a long work history to qualify for SSI, like you do for SSDI. Instead, SSI is based on financial need.

To qualify for SSI in Indiana, you must:

  • Have a medical condition that prevents you from working
  • Show that your condition will last at least a year (or is life-threatening)
  • Have very limited income and resources
  • Meet Social Security’s rules for citizenship or residency

Your past earnings don’t affect how much you get from SSI (unlike SSDI).

What matters is your current financial situation: things like your savings, investments, property other than your main home, and even your living arrangement.

The Qualified Representatives at Hanley Disability know exactly what the Social Security Administration is looking for.

Our SSI disability advocates help you gather the right medical records, complete paperwork correctly, and avoid mistakes and unnecessary delays in your benefits.

How Much Does SSI Pay?

As of 2025, the maximum monthly SSI benefit was set at:

  • $967/month for individuals
  • $1,450/month for couples

Your exact amount may be lower depending on other sources of income or support that you have. The standard amount typically changes every year.

But even a modest SSI payment can make a real difference, especially when it’s paired with Medicaid health coverage to help with the costs of your medical treatment.

Trying to win SSI benefits can feel like climbing a mountain. You’re already dealing with a serious health condition, and that’s more than enough. The SSI disability advocates at Hanley help you lift this burden.

At Hanley Disability, we treat you like a person, not a case number.

We take the time to meet with you one-on-one. We prepare you for your disability hearing with a judge well ahead of time. We stand by your side throughout the entire process.
