MULTIPLE SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFICIARIESWritten by Blur Lorena
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is a federal program run by Social Security Administration that gives a monthly income to people with disabilities, blind, or who are 65 or older with limited income and property. Recipients must be a U.S. citizen or a national with countable income below federal benefit rate or FBR.Recipients are grouped into children (age 17 and younger), working age (ages 18 to 64), and elderly (age 65 and older). Different policy issues and rules apply to various age groups. There are disability screens for children and working-age applicants while elderly must pass income and asset screens to qualify regardless of whether they are disabled. This program does not limit number of recipients living in same house. There are three types of households: one-recipient households, households with two married SSI recipients and no other recipients, and households with multiple recipients other than married couple recipients, also known as noncouple multirecipient (NCM) households. Different economies of scale arise from these categories. Two different surveys about SSI recipients were conducted by SIPP or Survey of Income and Program Participation and Social Security Administration. Both have same analysis and records indicating that one out of five SSI recipients live with one, or more, SSI recipient who is not a spouse. Nonmarried-couple recipients living in same household is guaranteed full individual federal benefit rate while married couple recipients are guaranteed with 150 percent of FBR for individuals. This means that relationships between SSI members and other members of household do not affect benefit payments unless they are married couples living in same household. Children are most likely to live in an NMC household.
