Given how low the bar is for SSI, even I could probably qualify for it if I didn't want to work.
I've never looked into SSI that closely, but it is really that easy to get? I never seem to luck out, when it comes to applying for jobs. And any jobs I've ever gotten, seem to be short lived. Or a tease if you count all the times I interview for jobs once, falsely getting my hopes up I did well in the interview for that position, and never hearing back from the places ever again. :(
A friend of mine does get SSI, so sometimes in the back of my mind I've wondered if I should apply for that. I think the only rule if you get such income, is that it limits how many hours you can work. I've sometimes wondered if I should bike for Uber Eats, since I have a bike and I was surprised to learn that you could bike besides drive, if you did Uber Eats deliveries. If I owned a car, I would probably apply for Uber or Lyft to drive for sure.
As a functioning, intelligent person, you're better off finding employment than trying to get SSI. And I'm pretty sure if you're able to hold down any kind of work, it hurts your SSI prospects. SSI is really intended more for people who can't work at all. And the bar *is* pretty low, since a doctor's note for anxiety issues can get you on it afaik. ---
