Income is money you receive such as wages, Social Security benefits, pensions, workers compensation, unemployment benefits, and money from friends or relatives. Whether you can get SSI depends on your income and resources (the things you own). A person whose sight isn’t poor enough to be “blind” may still be considered to have a qualifying disability.
