		Supplemental security income payments are made to persons who have attained age 65 or who are blind or disabled and meet the means-tested and other requirements of the program.
		Some mandatory State supplements are required by supplemental security income law to maintain former State recipients' December 1973 payment levels at pre-supplemental security income levels, increased by cost-of-living adjustments, where such payments were higher than the initial supplemental security income standards.
		States paying supplements are required by supplemental security income law to maintain either their State supplement expenditures or their payment levels when Federal standards are increased.

	Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Program
		The Supplemental Security Income program is funded by the general revenues of the Federal Treasury and is intended to provide a minimum level of income to persons who are aged, disabled, or blind and demonstrate economic need.
		The Social Security Administration defines disability as the inability to engage in substantial gainful activity (work) by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months or result in death.
		The income and/or resources that are set aside under the PASS are not counted when the income and resource test is administered, enabling them to meet this part of the eligibility requirement.

	Chapter Ten - Medicaid and Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
		If there is so little unearned income that some of the $20 deduction remains, then the remainder of the $20 deduction is subtracted from earned income, before other deductions are made from earned income.
		But, if the result after analyzing the income of the ineligible spouse is that she or he has countable income greater than one-half the federal benefit rate for an individual, there will be deeming.
		The remaining income is subtracted from the federal benefit rate for a couple (in the year 2004, this is $846 per month) and the difference is the amount of the SSI benefit to the individual.

	Supplemental Security Income: Supporting People With Disabilities And The Elderly Poor, Rev 8/17/05
		Through Medicaid, SSI beneficiaries generally are able to secure health services they need to remain in the community (and in the case of some individuals with disabilities, services and supports needed to enable the individual to attempt to return to work and maintain employment).
		Not surprisingly, data from the Social Security Administration show that in December 2003, 71 percent of elderly SSI beneficiaries, and 57 percent of adult beneficiaries with disabilities, were women.
		This disregard was intended in part to ensure that SSI recipients with a significant past work history, as evidenced by their eligibility for Social Security benefits, would have higher total incomes than SSI recipients who had little or no work history and thus did not qualify for Social Security.
