Supplemental Security Income, SSI for short, pays up to the Federal Benefit Rate (FBR).
For 2010, the Federal Benefit rate stays at $674 and $1,011 for couples. For most people, this means the maximum SSI benefits you can get in 2010 is $674 per month.
For 2009, the FBR was $674 per month.
In 2008, the FBR was $637 per month.
In 2007, the FBR was $623 per month.
This page lists the Federal Benefit Rates back to 1998.

CAN A PERSON GET 835 .00 ON SOCICAL SECURITY AND GET SSI TO
Thanks for your comment!
Generally, your SSDI benefits have to be less than the Federal Benefit Rate to be eligible for SSI benefits. See http://www.socialsecurityinsider.com/2008/03/so...
If you want to know if YOU can get SSI in addition to Social Security benefits you currently receive, call Social Security and ask.
