  Hi Bill, good luck on your SSI and SSA filings and don't forget to
apply for both. SSI maybe a little harder to pull at present depending
on what your pitance is in the bank while SSA is more leanient on the
amount that you can have. Each state is different on the amount of money
that you are alowed to have check out and see what the amount is. Here
in Ohio you are only alowed $1,500 and this covers not only bank
accounts but other assets as well such as stocks,car and if you have a
life insurance policy you must turn it over to the state. If your bank
account is at present higher than LA. will allow then you can reaply
latter as it is dimminished or you can come up with alternative plans
for investing some of it now and thus meeting the requirement. (if you
get what I'm hinting at).
