^1^ Total is a weighted average of the Federal plus State average
benefit, the Federal-only average benefit, and State- only average
benefit.\
Note: The numerators for these averages are given in Table A-21.
Averages were computed by DHHS. Data adjusted for inflation using the
monthly values of the CPI-U-X1 index.\

Security Administration, Office of SSI, and Office of Budget.
