*”supplemental security income”*
.
[“supplemental security income’Β (aka ‘SSI’) is aΒ ‘united statesΒ government program’ that provides ‘stipends’ to ‘low income people’ who are either…]
‘aged 65 or older’
‘disabled’
‘blind’
.
(and what of the ‘deaf’???)
.
(although administered by the ‘social security administration’, ‘SSI’ is funded from “USA treasury general funds’…)
(…NOT the ‘social security trust fund’)
.
(‘SSI’ was created in 1974 to replace “federal-state adult assistance programs” that served the same purpose)
(the restructuring of these programs was intended to standardize the ‘eligibility requirements’ and ‘level of benefits’)
(the new ‘federal program’ was incorporated into “title XVI” (‘title 16’) of the “social security act”)
.
*today the program provides benefits to approximately ‘8 million americans’*
