In response to the impact of the pandemic, the administration has identified underserved communities in both rural and urban areas throughout the country. Social Security‘s Supplemental Security Income program focus is particularly on areas that have experienced a significant decline in SSI applications. These outreach efforts prioritize regions where a majority of residents live at or below the federal poverty threshold.
Recipients of Social Security’s Supplemental Security Income program may also qualify for additional financial assistance programs, including the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, Medicaid, and discounted internet services provided through the Federal Trade Commission’s Affordable Connectivity Program.
