Whether you can get SSI depends on your income and resources (the things you own).  If you have low income and few resources, you may be able to get SSI.  However, if you are receiving support from your children, your SSI payment will be reduced.  Support is any food, clothing or shelter that is given to you, or is received by you because someone else pays for it.
