Preface

The Supplement is a major data resource on our nation's social insurance and welfare programs. The majority of the data concern the Old-Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance programs, known collectively as Social Security, and the Supplemental Security Income program. The Supplement has been published annually since 1940. Decisions affecting the future of Social Security are facilitated by the availability of relevant data over a long period. The data provide a base for research, policy analysis, and proposals for changing the programs.

In addition to meeting the Social Security Administration's (SSA's) information needs, the Supplement strengthens the agency's ability to respond to requests for program data from congressional committees, government agencies at all levels, and the research community. One of our most important goals is to provide clear and meaningful program data. For this reason, we have repackaged the all-in-one Table 5.A1 into smaller, more manageable statistical tables so that it is easier to locate data on specific beneficiary populations.

The Supplement is prepared by SSA staff from various components throughout the agency. I would also like to express my thanks to the many people in other federal agencies for their contributions. The inside cover includes a list of the agencies and persons contributing to this edition.
