Preface

Since 1974, the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program has provided monthly payments for blind and disabled children under the age of 18. Certain provisions are used to determine a child's eligibility and payment amount that differ from those applicable to adults. For children living in the same household with one or more parents, the parents' income and resources must be considered, or deemed, in determining the child's eligibility and payment amount. This report provides data on

  • applications by and awards to blind and disabled children;
  • SSI payments, income, demographic characteristics, geographic distribution, and disability diagnosis groups of SSI child recipients; and
  • type, amounts, and deeming status of parental income.

Clark D. Pickett of the Division of SSI Statistics and Analysis programmed and compiled the data. Staff of the Division of Information Resources edited the report and prepared the print and electronic versions for publication.
