Is a legal permanent resident who is over 65, is not disabled, lives in a relative's home for free (i.e. does not pay rent and/or utilities), is un-employed and has never worked in the US eligible for SSI benefits ?

I can tell you what I know and then you can wait for the 'experts' to answer
You do not have to have a work history for SSI..It is based on your inability to work due to injury or illness. I believe SSI must be obtained through a doctor. I don't think age is an issue, just the inability to work.Susan......... Beta Babe since 1994....I did improve

Hi, gatorbill. At age 65, one can qualify for SSI's old age benefits, but there are citizenship/status issues. I will get back to you once I get a cite.
