# Supplemental Security Income

The Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Program is a means tested,
federally administered income assistance program authorized by title XVI
of the Social Security Act. Established in 1972 (Public Law 92-603) and
begun in 1974, SSI provides monthly cash payments in accordance with
uniform, nationwide eligibility requirements to needy aged, blind and
disabled persons. To qualify for SSI payments, a person must satisfy the
program criteria for age, blindness or disability. Children may qualify
for SSI if they are under age 18, unmarried, and meet the applicable SSI
disability or blindness, income and resource requirements. Individuals
and couples are eligible for SSI if their countable incomes fall below
the Federal maximum monthly SSI benefit levels, which were \$532 for an
individual and \$789 for a couple in fiscal year 2000. SSI eligibility
is restricted to qualified persons who have countable resources/assets
of not more than \$2,000, or \$3,000 for a couple.

SSI law requires that SSI applicants file for all other money benefits
for which they may be entitled. Since its inception, SSI has been viewed
as the "program of last resort"\-- after evaluating all other income,
SSI pays what is necessary to bring an individual to the statutorily
prescribed income "floor." (The Social Security Administration, which
administers the SSI program, works with recipients and helps them get
any other benefits for which they are eligible.) As of December 1999, 36
percent of all SSI recipients also received Social Security benefits;
Social Security benefits are the single highest source of income for SSI
recipients.

No *individual* could receive both SSI payments and AFDC benefits; if
eligible for both, the individual was required to choose which benefit
to receive. Generally, the AFDC agency encouraged individuals to file
for SSI and, once the SSI payments had started, the individual was
removed from the AFDC filing unit. The PRWORA does not specifically
prohibit an individual's receipt of both TANF benefits and SSI; states
have complete authority to set TANF eligibility standards and benefit
levels.

Except in California, which converted food stamp benefits to cash that
is included in the State supplementary payment, SSI recipients may be
eligible to receive food stamps. If all household members receive SSI,
they do not need to meet the Food Stamp Program financial eligibility
standards to participate in the program because they are categorically
eligible. If SSI beneficiaries live in households where other household
members do not receive SSI benefits, the household must meet the net
income eligibility standard of the Food Stamp Program to be eligible for
food stamp benefits.

# Recent Legislative Changes. 

Several legislative changes made in the 104th Congress are likely to
affect Supplemental Security Income (SSI) participation and
expenditures. Public Law 104-121, the Contract with America Advancement
Act of 1996, prohibits SSI eligibility to individuals whose drug
addiction and/or alcoholism (DAA) is a contributing factor material to
the finding of disability. This provision applied to individuals who
filed for benefits on or after the date of enactment (March 29, 1996)
and to individuals whose claims were finally adjudicated on or after the
date of enactment. It applied to current beneficiaries on January 1,
1997.

The PRWORA made several changes designed to maintain the SSI program's
goal of providing benefits for severely disabled children while
preventing children without serious impairments from receiving benefits.
First, the act replaced the former law "comparable severity" test with a
new definition of childhood disability based on a medically determinable
physical or mental impairment. Second, it discontinued use of the
Individualized Functional Assessment (IFA) which authorized subjective
judgment to determine children's eligibility for SSI. Third, it
eliminated references to "maladaptive behavior" in the Listings of
Impairments (among medical criteria for evaluation of mental and
emotional disorders in the domain of personal/behavioral function). The
latter two provisions were effective for all new and pending
applications upon enactment (August 22, 1996). Current beneficiaries
receiving benefits due to an IFA or maladaptive behavior listing
received notice no later than January 1, 1997, that their benefits might
end when their case is redetermined. All currently receiving benefits
are subject to redetermination using the new eligibility criteria by
February 28, 1998 (per P.L. 105-33, enacted August 5, 1997).

Title IV of PRWORA also made significant changes in the eligibility of
noncitizens for SSI benefits. Essentially, qualified aliens (including
legal immigrants) are barred from SSI. Some of the restrictions were
subsequently moderated, most notably by the Balanced Budget Act of 1997
(Public Law 105-33), which grandfathered immigrants who were receiving
SSI at the time of enactment of the PRWORA.

Several provisions aimed at reducing SSI fraud and improving recovery of
overpayments were enacted in 1999, as part of the Foster Care
Independence Act of 1999 (P. L. 106-169). Other legislation enacted in
1999 provides additional work incentives for disabled beneficiaries of
SSI.

# SSI Program Data 

The following set of tables and figures provide SSI program data:

• Tables SSI-1 through SSI-4 present national caseload and expenditure
trend data on the SSI program;

• Table SSI-5 presents some demographic characteristics of the SSI
caseload; and

• Tables SSI 6-8 present some state-by-state trend data on the SSI
program through fiscal year 1999.

From 1990 to 1995, the program increased from 4.8 million beneficiaries
to 6.5 million beneficiaries, an average growth rate of over 6 percent
per year. Since 1995, the number of beneficiaries has stabilized,
fluctuating between 6.5 and 6.6 million persons. In December 1999, there
were nearly 6.6 million beneficiaries. Table SSI 1 presents information
on the number of persons receiving SSI payments in December of each year
from 1974 through 1999. In addition to data on the total number of SSI
recipients, Table SSI 1 also shows recipients by eligibility category
(aged, blind and disabled) and by type of recipient (child, adult age
18-64, and adult age 65 or older). See also Table IND 9a and Table IND
9b in Chapter II for further data on trends in recipiency and
participation rates.

The composition of the SSI caseload has been shifting over time, as
shown in Table A-20. The number of beneficiaries eligible because of age
has been declining steadily, from a high of 2.3 million persons in
December 1975 to 1.3 million persons in December 1998. At the same time
there has been a strong growth in disabled beneficiaries, from 1.6
million in December 1974 to 5.2 million in December 1999. Moreover, the
number of disabled children has increased dramatically, particularly in
the 1990s, when the number of disabled children receiving SSI increased
from 340,000 in December 1990 to 955,000 in December 1996. The number of
disabled children has fallen in the past three years, declining to
847,000 in December 1999. [^1]

Several factors have contributed to the growth of the Supplemental
Security Income program. Expansions in disability eligibility
(particularly for mentally impaired adults and for children), increased
outreach, overall growth in immigration, and transfers from state
programs were among the key factors identified in a 1995 study by the
General Accounting Office (GAO). GAO concluded that three groups --
adults with mental impairments, children, and non-citizens -- accounted
for nearly 90 percent of the SSI program's growth in the early 1990s.
The growth in disabled children beneficiaries is generally believed to
be due to outreach activities, the Supreme Court decision in the
*Zebley* case[^2], expansion of the medical impairment category, and
reduction in reviews of continuing eligibility.

[^1]: Earlier editions of *Indicators of Welfare Dependence* included
    students 18-21 in the count of children and so reported about 50
    thousand more disabled children.

[^2]: On February 20, 1990, the Supreme Court ruled that the individual
    functional assessment (or a residual functional capacity assessment)
    applied to adults whose condition did not meet or equal a listing of
    medical impairments to determine eligibility should also be applied
    to children whose condition did not meet or equal the medical
    listing of impairments. The GAO study estimated that 87,000 children
    were added to the SSI caseload after the individual functional
    assessments for children were initiated.
