Bringing SSI Into the 21st Century: Bipartisan Momentum for Reform

Описание: Created as part of the Social Security system more than 50 years ago, Supplemental Security Income (SSI) remains governed by rules written in the 1970s, including strict asset limits and income restrictions that can penalize work and savings and leave too many eligible people without
support. This conversation explores what it would mean to bring SSI into the 21st century at a moment when bipartisan momentum for reform is building, and as the debate over the future of Social Security heats up.
