Happy 50th Anniversary, SSI

Social Security Administration sent this bulletin at 06/04/2024 03:07 PM EDT

This year, the Social Security Administration (SSA) celebrates 50 years of administering the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program. President Richard Nixon signed the bill in 1972, and in January 1974, SSA began issuing the first SSI payments to nearly 4 million eligible people. The goal of the SSI program was to aid aged, blind, and individuals with disabilities with very limited income and resources.
