In a nutshell, what is Supplemental Security Income SSI, and do Floridians automatically get Medicaid?
Supplemental Security Income (“SSI”) provides cash assistance payments to aged, blind, and disabled persons (including children) who have limited income and resources. If you are a Florida resident and eligible to receive Supplemental Security Income payments, you are also eligible for Medicaid. As long as you receive Supplemental Security Income, you do not have to file a separate application for Medicaid.
