If you get SSI, you can usually get federal benefits like the                                                                              Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and state benefits like Medicaid. 

SNAP helps pay for food, and Medicaid helps pay doctor and hospital bills.                                           Help from these programs won't affect your SSI payment.

Your state might also have other programs to help you, like rent rebates and 

Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF). https://www.ssa.gov/ssi/tools-to-save
