Supplemental Security Income California provides&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ssa.gov/benefits/ssi/" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://www.ssa.gov/benefits/ssi/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Supplemental Security Income</a> to anyone with limited income and few resources. The program is administered by the Federal Social Security Administration, and the payment is automatically added to the applicant’s federal SSI payment. The amount of the supplement varies depending on an applicant’s income. In California, SSI recipients cannot get SNAP benefits because the state adds money to the federal SSI payment instead. To qualify for SSI, applicants must: 
<li>Be at least 65 years old, blind or disabled</li>
<li>Have assets of no more than $2,000 for individuals or $3,000 for couples&nbsp; (a primary home and vehicle are excluded)</li>
<li>Live in the U.S. and be a citizen or lawful resident</li>
<li>Be a resident of California</li>
 For more information or to apply, visit the <a href="http://www.socialsecurity.gov." target="_blank" data-mce-href="http://www.socialsecurity.gov." rel="noopener noreferrer">Social Security Administration website</a> or call (800) 772-1213. PACE PACE, or the <a href="https://www.myinnovage.com/locations/california" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://www.myinnovage.com/locations/california" rel="noopener noreferrer">Program For All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly</a>, provides health care and social services to seniors, regardless of their living situation.

Elderlife Financial Services Loans Seniors who need immediate funds to make assisted living arrangements can apply for a loan through <a href="https://elderlifefinancial.com/" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://elderlifefinancial.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Elderlife Financial Services</a>. They provide up to 12 months of payments and can be useful for seniors who are waiting for the sale of a home or going through the process of benefit approval. Approval time is fast, sometimes within 24 hours. Multiple borrowers can apply for one loan so credit scores are not as important in the approval process. Since family members of a senior in need of care often apply, the age and health of the senior aren’t a factor in the approval process. Elderlife&nbsp;typically requires&nbsp;information about anticipated sources of permanent funding. Contact <a href="https://elderlifefinancial.com/" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://elderlifefinancial.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Elderlife Financial</a> at (888) 228-4500 for more information.
