Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) are disability income benefits administered by the Social Security Administration (SSA) that may also provide either Medicaid and/or Medicare health insurance to individuals who are eligible. 

It can be difficult to navigate the application process.  SOAR is an assistance initiative that assists individuals who are homeless and disabled to complete applications for benefits. The Women’s Resource Center of Tampa has staff training to assist with SOAR applications.
