Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Celebrates 50 Years as a Lifeline
Reading Time: 1 MinuteLast Updated: June 4, 2024
For 50 years, Supplemental Security Income (SSI) has been a lifeline to millions of people with disabilities, including children, and older adults with limited income and resources.
In 1972, President Nixon signed legislation creating the federal SSI program. In January 1974, Social Security issued the first monthly SSI payments. A half century later, approximately 7.5 million people – including nearly 1 million children – receive SSI payments every month to help pay for basic needs like food, rent, clothing, and medicine.
SSI has been instrumental in reducing the number of people living in extreme poverty in our country.
“Recently, we made great progress in strengthening the SSI program by simplifying the rules and helping more people access these benefits,” said Martin O’Malley, Commissioner of Social Security. “As we celebrate 50 years of SSI, we will continue to look for ways to improve the program and eliminate barriers.” To hear Commissioner O’Malley’s entire message about SSI, we invite you to watch a short video.
We are observing the 50th anniversary of SSI throughout the year, including a June 5th celebration hosted by the National Academy of Social Insurance (NASI). The event, “SSI @ 50: Reflections and the Road to Reform,” will feature Commissioner O’Malley and Senator Tom Harkin (ret-IA).
Learn more about how we’re working to expand access to SSI, simplify the SSI application process, and improve customer service. For more information on the SSI program, including who is eligible and how to apply, visit Supplemental Security Income (SSI). You can also read today’s press release.

Their security plan is a commendable step towards fostering inclusivity and fairness in social security programs. Addressing disparities ensures that all individuals, regardless of background, have the support they need, mirroring the assistance I receive from services like University Assignment Help UK. These parallels highlight the importance of tailored support systems in both education and public services to promote equity and success.

I bet it’s okay for Jerry’s people to get all the free labor they got from slaves building their masters wealth with no regards to their lives, health and well being.

Donald is the only answer right now. Anyone voting for Harris is a fool and in the dark. “his” choice for VP should be enough to search for the truth and it will set you free!
Darrell R.
How old are you Jerry Smith? Our country was formed knowing some people will get rich while others will become poor in the free-enterprise system that we operate our finances. So you think the winners of these finacial contests should be able to spend their wealth on luxuries while the lossers shouldstarve to death and live in our gutters. I suspect you now want a Dictatoship government since you do not want to share the wealth. I haope the next recession catches you at the bottom.
JERRY M.
OBVIOUSLY, DARRELL, YOU ARE A TRUE COMMUNIST AND A WELFARE, SSI, SSI-DI, SS-DI GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE STEALING THIEF, OR YOU WOULD NOT CARE SO MUCH ABOUT SOMEBODY INDICATING YOU SHOULD SUPPORT YOURSELF! WE DO NOT NEED YOU IN USA LIVING OFF GOVERNMENT AND TAXPAYERS! YOU NEED TO GO ON TO A COMMUNIST COUNTRY WHERE YOU CAN LIVE YOU GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE LIFE WITH COMMUNIST GUARDS WHO WILL TEACH YOU WHAT COMMUNISM IS ALL ABOUT! YOU ARE A VERY DIRTY ILLICIT, DECEITFUL PERSON WHO NEEDS TO SHUT UP AND WORK, VERY HARD, SO YOU START TO UNDERSTAND HOW U.S. CITIZENS SUPPORT THEMSELVES WITHOUT GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE! YOU MUST ALSO BE A FULL-BLOWN CRIMINAL!
JERRY M.
DARRELL: FEW PEOPLE ARE SMART ENOUGH, OR HARD-WORKING ENOUGH, TO EVERY ACCUMULATE VERY MUCH WEALTH, SO THE SMART, AND HARD-WORKING SMART PERSONS PROVIDE THE JOBS AND BUSINESSESS FOR EVERYONE ELSE TO EXIST ON! OUR U.S. ECONOMIC SYSTEM IS THE BEST ECONOMIC SYSTEM THERE IS IN THE WORLD! OUR SYSTEM PROVIDES THE INCENTIVES FOR EACH PERSON AND FAMILY TO WORK, INVEST AND SUPPORT THEMSELVES! IF WE WORK AND INVEST, WE GET THE BENEFITS OF THE WORK AND INVESTING, NOT THE WELFARE, ILLICIT INDIVIDUALS IN OUR WELFARE SOCIETY! CAPITALISM IS WHAT KEEPS U.S. CITIZENS EATING AND SURVIVING FROM THE ACTIONS OF LAZY, BAD SEGMENTS OF WELFARE SOCIALISM, MARXISM AND COMMUNISM! FREEDOMS TO WORK AND TO DO THINGS THAT BENEFIT OUR FAMILIES ARE THE BEST THINGS IN LIFE, THAT IS WHY WE EXIST! DIRTY PEOPLE PRODUCE DIRTY THIEVES AND CRIMINALS! WELFARE SOCIALISM PRODUCES LAZY, NO-GOOD WELFARE RECIPIENTS AND WOULD LET OTHER COUNTRIES TAKE-OVER THE GOOD USA WE HAVE NOW! SO, USE YOUR SMARTS, OR YOUR HARD WORK, IF YOU HAVE THOSE TRAITS, TO DO WELL FOR YOURSELF AND YOUR FAMILY! ONLY YOU CAN PROVIDE INCENTIVES TO HELP YOURSELF! NOBODY WILL GIVE YOU A FREE RIDE, BUT PEOPLE WILL SUPPORT YOUR INDEDPENDENCE IF YOU WORK, INVEST, THINK AND DO WHAT IS RIGHT BY OUR U.S. GOVERNMENT, RATHER THAN CHOOSING TO LIVE OFF GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE AND THE 50% OF U.S. CITIZENS WHO ACTUALLY PAY FEDERAL INCOME TAXES!

FAYE C.: WE DO KNOW WE DO NOT WANT OUR GOVERNMENT AGENCIES OR GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES SOLICITING APPLICANTS TO SPEND OUR MONEY ON WELFARE PROGRAMS, SSI, SSI-DI, SS-DI OR ANY OTHER WELFARE TYPE GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE! THE SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION SHOULD NOT BE SOLICITING APPLICANTS, WHO LIKE OTEHRS GETTING WELFARE BENEFITS, SSI, SSI-DI, SS-DI, ARE NOTHING BY LIARS, CHEATERS AND THIEVES WHO STEAL OUR TAX PAYER MONEY FROM THE 50% OF US WHO ACTUALLY PAY INCOME TAXES!

There always has to be one Karen in the bunch. Perhaps she was born with a silver spoon in her mouth and could never empathize with those who are more unfortunate healthwise than herself. She could never walk in anyone elses shoes, especially those whom cannot walk at all. Boo hoo to her.
Patricia T.
Right on Jerry! Time to change the tides. Americans are sick and tired of all these people lying to steal the benefits that are for Americans. Illegals go home! We cannot continue this path of giving benefits to those who do not belong here and have come illegally because of the Demorats who are ignoring our own laws.
JERRY M.
MARY W.: TAKE CARE OF YOUR OWN FINANCIAL NEEDS, EDUCATION NEEDS, PUBLIC SERVICES NEEDS! GOVERNMENTS, U.S. TAX PAYING CITIZENS ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR PROVIDING YOUR LIVING, MEDICAL NEEDS, EDUCATIONAL NEEDS, SUBSISTENCE OR ANYTHING ELSE! SO GET OFF YOUR GOVERNMENT WELFARE SUBSISTENCE ATTITUDE AND PROVIDE FOR YOURSELF, AND FOR YOUR OWN FAMILY, IF YOU HAVE A FAMILY. IT IS NOT A GOVERNMENT RESPONSIBILITY, OR A TAXPAYER RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE YOU EARN EQUITY! THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS EQUITY, YOU JUST HAVE GROW-UP AND WORK, EARNING A WAGE EQUAL TO WHAT YOU ARE ABLE TO PRODUCE FOR SOCIETY! THAT IS ALL YOU WILL EVER DESERVE! INDIVIDUALS ARE FULLY RESPONSIBLE TO PROVIDE THEIR OWN SUBSISTENCE AND OBTAIN THEIR OWN FAIRNESS IN LIFE BY LEARNING WHAT THEY CAN CONTRIBUTE TO PRODUCING INCOMES TO SUSTAIN LIFE! NOTHING ELSE IS DUE YOU! NO FREEBIES FROM THE GOVERNMENT OR TAX PAYING CITIZENS! STUDY AND WORK 12 HOURS A DAY, IF YOU NEED TO SO YOU AND YOUR FAMILIY SURVIVES! HOW WELL YOU SURVIVE IS UP TO HOW MUCH EFFORT YOU PUT INTO PRODUCTIVE THINKING, WORK, INVESTING YOUR TIME AND MONEY, NOT HOW EFFECTIVE YOU ARE IN TRYING TO STEAL WELFARE BENFITS, SSI, SSI-DI, SS-DI OR OTHER GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE!
JERRY M.
SSI AND SSI-DI PROGRAMS WERE ESTABLISHED AND LEGISLATION PASSED BY CONGRESS TO BE ADMINISTERED UNDER THE SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINSTRATION! SSI AND SSI-DI FUNDING FROM GENERAL TAXATION FUNDS WAS HIDDEN BY POLITICIANS SO THE GENERAL PUBLIC WOULD NOT KNOW SSI AND SSI-DI WERE ACTUALLY WELFARE PROGRAMS! BOTH PROGRAMS HAVE BEEN VERY DISHONEST, ILLICIT AND CROOKED PROGRAMS SINCE THEY WERE STARTED, AND NOW THEY ARE STILL JUST PROGRAMS THAT ARE STEALING MONEY FROM THE 50% OF U.S. TAX PAYING CITIZENS! EVERYONE THAT GETS ON SSI OR SSI-DI HAVE LIED, CHEATED AND MISREPRESENTED THEIR FINANCIAL AND MEDICAL CONDITIONS TO GET APPROVED FOR SSI OR SSI-DI BENEFITS! AND, EVEN WORSE, THE SOCIAL WORKERS, WELFARE ELIGIBILITY WORKERS APPROVE THE BENETITS KNOWING THE APPLICANTS HAVE LIED AND CHEATED TO GET THE WELFARE SSI OR SSI-DI! SO, SSI, AND SSI-DI, SHOULD BE COMPLETELY ELIMINATED BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT NEEDED, AND BECAUSE BOTH ARE TOTALLY CORRUPT PROGRAMS COSTING THE REAL TAX PAYING CITIZENS A LOT OF CROOKED MONEY!
SS-DI HAS ALWAYS BEEN CROOKED! PEOPLE ON SS-DI LIE AND CHEAT TO GET ON SS-DI! NOBODY IS TOTALLY DISABLED EXCEPT SOME VETERANS, AND NURSING HOME PATIENTS! EVERYONE CAN DO SOME FORM OF WORK, OR PUT SOME KIND OF EFFORT, INTO SUPPORTING THEMSELVES WITH WORK NOWDAYS! SS-DI IS BANKRUPTING OUR SOCIAL SECURITY FUNDS!!
THE U.S. HAS A VERY CORRUPT GOVERNMENT WELFARE ASSISTANCE AND SOCIAL SECURITY PROGRAM NOW! THE SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION SHOULD NOT BE ADVERTIZING AND ASSISTING ANYONE TO GET ON SSI, SSI-DI OR SS-DI! THAT IS THE ESSENCE OF SOCIALISM, MARXISM AND COMMUNISM WE HAVE IN OUR U.S. GOVERNMENT NOW! OF COURSE, CROOKED, VOTE BUYING BIDEN IS INSTRUCTING THE SS ADMINISTRATION, AS WELL AS OTHER GOVERNMENT AGENCIES TO BUY VOTES ANY CROOKED WAY POSSIBLE, ESPECIALLY BY USING TAX MONEY WE TAXPAYERS ARE GIVING TO IRS TO PAY FOR MORE AND MORE WELFARE ASSISTANCE TO WELFARE RECIPIENTS, WHICH IS WHAT SSI AND SSI-DI RECIPIENTS ARE NOW!
WE MUST ABOLISH ALL WELFARE PROGRAMS, INCLUSING SSI, SSI-DI, SNAP, WIC, TANF, CHIP, FREE MEDICAID, FREE SCHOOLING, FREE SCHOOL MEALS, SUBSIDIZED HOUSING, FREE GOVERNMENT FUNDED FOOD BANKS, USDA FREE FOOD AND NUTRITION PROGRAMS, FREE HEALTH INSURANCE, FREE HEALTH CARE, FREE STUDENT LOANS, MONETARY ASSISTANCE TO ILLICIT UNIVERSITIES, BLACK COLLEGES, ILLICIT ABORTION CLINICS, MEXICAN WELFARE SUCKING WOMEN, ILLEGAL ALIENS, IMMIGRANTS, FOREIGNERS, HAITIANS, MEXICANS, DACAS, WHITE TRASH WELFARE RECIPIENTS, MARXIST-COMMUNISTS IN GOVERNMENT JOBS, IN BLACK ORGANIZATIONS, AND MONEY PROVIDED TO DEMOCRAT POLITICIANS TO STEAL MONEY FROM TAXPAYERS, FROM BUSINESSES, FROM HONEST SUCCESSFUL COMPANIES WHO PROVIDE THE JOBS AND MONEY FLOW FOR THE U.S. ECONOMY! WE DO NOT WANT, OR NEED ANY TYPE OF WELFARE PROGRAMS, OR ANY WELFARE SUCKING ILLICIT PERSONS LIVING IN OUR FREE ENTERPRISE USA! EVERYONE SHOULD WORK AND INVEST TO PAY THEIR OWN WAY IN LIFE RATHER THAN BEING A LEECH ON SOCIETY AND THE TAX PAYING CITIZENS OF USA!

WE MAY HAVE TO DESIGNATE SPECIAL AREAS IN USA FOR YOU DEGENERATE WELFARE SUCKING WELFARE RECIPIENTS TO LIVE, WHERE YOU HAVE TO PAY YOUR OWN TAXES, TO SUPPORT, AND PAY FOR, YOUR OWN WELFARE, SSI CHECKS! WE DO NOT NEED YOU AT ALL! IT IS PAST TIME FOR USA TO ELIMINATE WELFARE PROGRAMS, WELFARE RECIPIENTS, SSI AND SSI-DI RECIPIENTS!

WE ARE GOING TO PROSECUTE EVERY ONE OF YOU CROOKED WELFARE SUCKING PERSONS, SSI AND SSI-DI THEIVES!

Title 16 SSI has been a pain in the neck for SSA to administer.
Way too many SSA field office staff have to be allocated to SSI compared to the traditional Title 2 program…
Syeda k.
Is the SSI income tax deductible?
S.D.
Hi, Syeda. Thanks for reading our blog and for your question. If you receive Supplemental Security Income, your SSI payments are not taxable income. Read our If You Are Self-Employed factsheet for information about income tax deductions that may reduce your taxes. If you have specific tax questions, you will need to call the IRS at 1-800-829-1040 or visit http://www.irs.gov. We hope this helps.

I find it disheartening that the people that really need SSD benefits are often turned down because they are not completely destitute. So because some of us work because we HAVE to you deny the benefits we are entitled to because we are disabled.
Marc
SSI and SSDI are two different programs. SSDI is for WORKERS who become disabled and cannot work any more, ever, at ANY occupation. That’s why they have to determine whether you’re able to work or not, which in turn determines if you’re eligible for SSDI. SSI is for destitute people who are disabled and can’t work who maybe never worked but it’s a miniscule amount, the max benefit being around $900. If you believe you can live on that I’ve got a bridge to sell you.
Kathy C.
I am not a leach your putting down people who are legitimately disabled and I’ve worked my whole life to get here now I can’t do it anymore.!! I’ve been found one hundred percent disabled and I was about to become homeless because I couldn’t get I still haven’t been able to get my back pay for my social security I’m trying now to get some of my social security to get my apartment in Indiana Pennsylvania now or but I am not we’re not trying to take anything over on the government or anything else I’m kind of been disabled and there’s nothing I can do about it there’s some operations or miracle cures in the future for me just stop saying things about SSI that we’re cooking this and that because we’re not thank you
JERRY M.
KATHY C.: YOU CLEARLY ARE JUST ANOTHER WELFARE, SSI, SSI-DI, SS-DI GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE LEECH! YOU JUST DO NOT LIKE FACING THE LYING AND CHEATING YOU DO TO GET FREE LIVING OFF U.S. GOVERNMENT AND TAX PAYING CITIZENS! YOU JUST PREFER TO SAY YOU CANNOT WORK ANYMORE! YOU CAN WORK, OR DO SOMETHING, TO EARN YOUR OWN LIVING! YOU ARE NOT TOTALLY DISABLED, YOU JUST DO NOT WANT TO WORK OR DO ANYTHING PRODUCTIVE! WE DO NO BELIEVE YOUR LIES AND WE DO NOT LIKE WELFARE DEPENDENT OR SSI, SSI-DI, OR SS-DI DEPENDENT PERSONS TAKING OUR MONEY THROUGH THE TAXES WE PAY TO SUPPORT YOU DEGENERATES WHO THINK YOU CAN GET BY WITH LYING TO BE A LAZY WELFARE SUCKING PERSON! GO TO A COMMUNIST COUNTRY AND THEY WILL LET YOU KNOW YOU ARE ABLE TO WORK AND EARN YOU OWN LIVING, OR THEY WILL NOT LET YOU EXIST WITHOUT TELLING YOU WHAT TO DO AND THINK 24 HOURS A DAY! REALIZE YOU CAN AT LEAST WORK, OR DO SOMETHING, TO EAT AND LIVE IN USA WHILE YOU ARE STILL A FREE INDIVIDUAL PERSON!

Jerry, did you have a medical problem the day you were born, like being dropped on your soft head? Maybe you wete born without legs and l8mbs and maybe your daddy was a phyco path and your mommy born without some critical cells to bore you with that gene of compassion or emathy? Something is surely wrong with you to say the ignorant hatefilled remarks to your fellow brothers and sisters in Gods land. Shame 0n You!!
