SSI Stats Released

Social Security's Office of Policy has released its monthly compilation of statistics concerning the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program.

There were 7,355,596 recipients of SSI in September 2007. This had risen to 7,509,397 in September 2008, an increase of 2.1% in a year. The number of recipients on account of age actually dropped over this time period, while the number of disability benefit recipients increased by 2.4%, undoubtedly due to the aging of the baby boomer generation.
