The Social Security Administration's Office of Policy has produced a report entitled "Efforts Since 2000 to Simplify the SSI Program: Legislative and Regulatory Changes."
Goodness knows that Supplemental Security Income (SSI) needs simplification. It needs updating even more. The resource limits and earnings allowances are absurd.

The point of this brief is to report on 9 small changes that have been made in SSI in 8 years? Geez. As a front line SSI claims rep, I could come up with 9 small changes every week that would simplify SSI. Of course, I don't know the ramifications of any changes that I would suggest and I understand the need for policy planners. But surely the policy wonks can and should quite a bit more effective than this brief indicates. What is the point of this brief anyway? Who is the audience? I am not impressed and think that whoever spent the time and effort to write and re-write this brief must have a really dull, boring workday.
