  1. Transition Information Fact Sheets

How much will I receive?

The amount you receive depends upon your living arrangement and employment status. Although SSA does not count the income and assets of parents to determine the financial eligibility of individuals ages 18 and over, living with parents or others may affect the amount of the SSI benefit.

The STATE SUPPLEMENT PROGRAM (SSP) in Massachusetts provides an additional supplement to the federal SSI cash assistance program through a separate payment. If you are blind and have another disability, you will receive a higher benefit through the SSP.
