Q: Can I still get SSI benefits if I have money in the bank? A: If you speak to a social security lawyer, he or she will explain to you the consequences of SSI being a need based program. Put simply, those that receive SSI benefits do not have much money or many assets. Every state in the U. S. has its own general rules about qualification for SSI, and a social security lawyer should be able to help you with the general rules behind what is considered a "resource" in your state.
