ssi and medicare coverage

SSI (Supplemental Security Income) is a needs-based federal program that provides financial assistance to low-income individuals who are aged 65 or older, blind, or disabled, and have limited income and resources. It offers monthly cash benefits to help cover essential living expenses such as food, clothing, and shelter. Medicare coverage, on the other hand, is a federal health insurance program primarily for people aged 65 and older, but it also covers certain younger individuals with disabilities and those with end-stage renal disease. It provides various healthcare services, including hospital stays, doctor visits, prescription drugs, preventive care, and more, helping individuals access necessary medical support without facing excessive financial burdens. Overall, SSI offers financial support for basic needs, while Medicare coverage addresses healthcare expenses for eligible individuals.
