In 2024, the Federal Benefit Rate (FBR) for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is set at $943 per month for an eligible individual and $1,415 per month for an eligible couple. SSI is a needs-based program designed to provide financial assistance to individuals who are elderly, blind, or disabled and have limited income and resources.
For SSDI recipients, the FBR is relevant when their SSDI benefits are low enough to allow them to qualify for SSI, as SSDI benefits are considered income in the SSI program.
