Supplemental security Income

There may be other programs similar to SSI in other countries, but as far as I am aware, there is only one SSI and it's in the US. Is everyone that is disabled given the SSI? I don't think that's a question that any of us can really answer. There are people who are disabled physically but still able to work and so do not get SSI. SSI is for people who are unable to work. You can have some outside income and still receive SSI but the amount you earn outside of the SSI has to be under a certain amount.

No, not everyone gets the money and I know quite a few that really do need it but they just keep refusing them.

Even in India, something similar exists. I know of a plumber whose brother has caused partial disability and gets some money under a government scheme.

@Butterfingers I don't know much about in the USA but I know Australia does this sort of thing.

It's a well structured thing in US. In India too we have disability pension which is quite low. This government has increased it a bit and also they have included a lot more disabilities in it from what it was before.You need to have a disability certificate to get it. My friend's son is seven years and he is getting 750 per month and also some rebate on his education.

in my country there are some NGO who works for disable person

I believe it is only in the United States.

I believe this is a help to the disabled. No not everyone can get not sure tho. I hope all countries would help the people.

Yes SSI is only America and it is not usually a temporary type of disability it is usually permanent. It is not easy to get.

Sorry, I don't know.

In Canada there are benefits for those on disability like in the US.

People that are approved for ssi usually have to prove their medical condition stating that they are not physically able to work. It takes a long time still to get approval and usually has to get signed off by a physician and an attorney who is an expert on helping those who need it to get it.
