N2  - The Supplementary Security Income (SSI) program represents a landmark effort by the federal government to revamp its welfare programs for the aged, blind, and disabled. Chapter 1 explains the principal features of the SSI program and compares SSI with welfare programs existing before 1974. Chapter 2 presents statistical information on the effect of SSI  on the number of welfare recipients and the amount of financial assistance received. Chapter 3 analyzes the success of SSI in raising household income above the poverty threshold. Chapter 4 compares state welfare payments before and after the advent of SSI and examines the impact of SSI on the amount of federal welfare dollars received by the states. Chapter 5 reviews certain aspects of the administrative efficiency of SSI. Chapter 6 discusses the relationship between SSI and the social security system's Old Age, Survivors, Disability, and Health Insurance program (OASDHI). Chapter 7 considers the possible impact of some current welfare reform proposals on SSI
